About The Show
In this new concert special — Benise’s eighth for PBS — the Prince of Spanish Guitar presents a collection of fan favorites that showcase his Emmy Award-winning stage productions over the last 25 years. Through intimate conversations with Benise, 25 YEARS OF PASSION! reveals the cultural and personal influences that have shaped the man and the musician. Viewers take center stage as they go on the road with the guitarist in Spain, China, Paris, Egypt, India, Cuba, Italy, Dubai, and more.
Classical guitar meets Classic Rock, as Benise adds a unique twist to The Eagles’ “Hotel California,” AC/DC’s “Thunderstruck,” and Led Zeppelin’s “Kashmir.” He also brings his signature touch to classics like Beethoven’s “Moonlight Sonata” and Joaquin Rodrigo’s “Aranjuez.” Featuring a global cast of musicians and dancers, BENISE – 25 YEARS OF PASSION! is a musical journey of Spanish Flamenco, Cuban Salsa, Brazilian Samba, African drumming, and more. Special guests include Pavlo, the Mediterranean guitar superstar, and Daniel Emmet, the classical crossover, Las Vegas headliner and multilingual singer featured on America’s Got Talent.
