The 92nd Street Y, New York (92NY) presents Sean Shibe, guitar, a live, acoustic-electric performance, at Buttenwieser Hall at The Arnhold Center, 1395 Lexington Ave, New York, NY 10128 on November 7, 2025 at 7:30 PM. In-person tickets start at $45, with livestream access available for $25. Tickets are available at https://www.92ny.org/event/sean-shibe.

One of the most original minds on his instrument, Shibe performs a concert for every guitar music lover – the program’s first half on classical guitar, the second half on electric. A remarkably fluid artist, Shibe takes the audience from a Bach cello suite to two premieres of works by major contemporary composers, to a live performance against a pre-recorded tape of himself. The evening features the New York premiere of Thomas Adès’ Forgotten Dances (the composer’s first published work for an instrument other than keyboard),the New York premiere of Pulitzer Prize-winning Tyshawn Sorey’s new work For Bill Frissell, and Steve Reich’s Electric Counterpoint for guitar and pre-recorded track, written for and premiered by Pat Metheny.

For Bill Frissellwas commissioned by Wigmore Hall, Elbphilharmonie Hamburg, Britten Pears Arts, Vancouver Recital Society, and The 92nd Street Y, New York. This Tisch Music event is part of the Marshall Weinberg Classical Music Season.

Online streaming will be available for 72 hours following the performance.
