The music ranges from jazz to singer/songwriter to punk, and the common thread is that all groups feature the guitar! Join us at the outdoor stage at the crossroads on Alumni Mall on Friday, March 15 from 5-6:30pm for a high energy start to the 2024 LMU Guitar Festival.

TRIO DINICU
Hailed as “dazzling” by the San Francisco Chronicle, Trio Dinicu combines the forces of three highly distinguished musicians. Luanne Homzy a world-renowned concert violinist; Tommy Davy, a virtuoso guitarist of the young generation of Franco-Russian guitar; and Frank Anastasio, a legendary gypsy jazz bassist, vocalist, and guitarist. Highly regarded for their creativity, Trio Dinicu blends acrobatic technique with the improvisatory language of jazz and the richness of Eastern European folk, including Romanian violin, Russian balalaika, and French "Jazz Hot".
