SPECIAL ENGAGEMENT
This Valentine’s Day, Friday, February 14, at 7:30 p.m., Amazon #1 best-selling guitarist Bryan Lubeck will bring his brand-new show, “Echoes of Barcelona,” with a romantic twist to the Lake Michigan College Mendel Center. Set in the intimate surroundings of the Hanson Theatre, this enchanting concert will feature fiery Spanish guitar, soulful pop grooves, and captivating Latin rhythms.
Celebrate love with a collection of Lubeck’s popular songs, inspired by his time in Spain, alongside specially curated selections designed for a magical evening. Joining Lubeck for this unforgettable performance will be a lineup of globally acclaimed guest artists and a cash bar featuring a signature sangria cocktail.
For this special engagement, Lubeck will be joined by Grammy-winning saxophonist Nick Bisesi and Felton Offard, the guitarist from Broadway’s hit show “Hamilton” and songwriter for the Kennedy Center 2025 Martin Luther King Celebration. The evening will open with a performance by flamenco guitar virtuoso Carlo Beline, fresh off his tour of Asia.
Lubeck’s band also features some of the nation’s top musicians, including violinist Lewis Hut Stahl, keyboardist Neil Artwick, percussionist Ed Skjordal, and drummer Nate Lacny.
