Acoustic Alchemy live in New Haven

Experience Acoustic Alchemy live on October 24th

Acoustic Alchemy will be performing at the John Lyman Center for the Performing Arts in New Haven, Connecticut on October 24, 2026. Acoustic Alchemy is a British instrumental band known for their distinctive blend of smooth jazz, new age, and acoustic guitar. Formed in 1981, the group is characterized by intricate fingerstyle guitar work—primarily by founding member Nick Webb—combined with elements of jazz harmony, world music influences, and often featuring nylon-string guitars alongside steel-string acoustics. Their sound frequently evokes a relaxed and melodic atmosphere.

The John Lyman Center for the Performing Arts is located on the campus of Southern Connecticut State University. Opened in 1994, it serves as a prominent venue for a wide range of performing arts events including concerts, dance performances, theatrical productions and lectures. The center’s main performance space is a proscenium theater designed to accommodate diverse artistic presentations. It’s known for its acoustics and relatively intimate setting compared to larger concert halls. The venue regularly hosts nationally and internationally touring artists and serves as a cultural resource for both the university community and the wider New Haven area.
