Jazz à Vienne - Pat Metheny

"Jazz à Vienne" offers 250 concerts per year, 1,000 artists and 200,000 festival visitors.

The 42nd edition took place from 28 June to 13 July 2023.


Pat Metheny was one of my personal guitar heroes in the 1970s. He began playing guitar at the age of twelve and at 14 he won a guitar competition sponsored by the jazz magazine "Down Beat". At 18, he became a guitar lecturer at the University of Miami, and a year later at Berklee College of Music in Boston.

Pat Metheny has been honoured many times for his achievements as a guitarist, composer and producer. He has received 20 Grammy Awards, among others. His style can develop in every conceivable direction, from bebop to free jazz to Brazilian vibes, but he always plays it perfectly.
