Matthew Stevens will perform at the Auditori de Vilafranca del Penedès, Spain on July 5th, 2026. Stevens is a highly regarded American guitarist known for a distinctive style blending jazz improvisation with elements of electronic music, rock, and contemporary sound design. His compositions frequently feature complex harmonic structures, intricate rhythmic interplay, and extensive use of effects processing, creating a sound that is both intellectually stimulating and emotionally resonant. He has released several critically acclaimed albums as a leader and collaborated with artists such as Esperanza Spalding and Vijay Iyer.

The Auditori de Vilafranca del Penedès is a significant cultural venue in the Penedès region of Catalonia. Opened in 2011, it was designed by the architectural firm Mecanoo, led by Francine Houben. The building’s design is notable for its wooden structure – specifically laminated timber – intended to evoke the region's wine-making traditions through visual similarities to wine cellars and barrels. It functions as a multi-purpose space hosting a variety of performances including orchestral concerts, chamber music recitals, dance performances, theatre productions and popular music events. The venue aims to serve both local residents and attract audiences from wider Catalonia and beyond.
