Al Di Meola live in Glendale

Experience Al Di Meola live on September 19th

Al Di Meola is scheduled to perform at the Alex Theatre in Glendale, California on September 19, 2026. Di Meola is a highly regarded American guitarist known for his virtuosic acoustic guitar playing and fusion of jazz, rock, world music, and flamenco styles. Emerging in the 1970s, he gained prominence with Return to Forever alongside Chick Corea and Stanley Clarke, and subsequently built a successful solo career characterized by complex compositions, rapid-fire picking techniques, and melodic improvisation. His discography includes albums like *Elegant Gypsy* and *Scenario*, showcasing his diverse musical explorations.

The Alex Theatre originally opened in 1925 as a movie palace during the golden age of Hollywood. Designed in the atmospheric Spanish Colonial Revival style by architect C. Howard Crane, it hosted numerous film premieres and live performances throughout its early history. Following a period of decline, the theatre underwent extensive restoration completed in 1993, returning it to its original grandeur. Today, the Alex Theatre operates as a non-profit performing arts center presenting a wide variety of events including concerts, theatrical productions, dance performances, and film screenings.
