Feb. 10—They play different styles and hail from different countries with different kinds of training, but they all wield the guitar with consummate skill and flair to boot. International Guitar Night at the Lensic Performing Arts Center brings artists from Canada, Finland, Australia, and Spain to display their contrasting and complementary methods of playing the instrument.

Jazz guitarist Jocelyn Gould, a 2021 winner of Canada's Juno Award, will be joined by Spanish flamenco guitarist Jesus Guerrero, chamber musician Stephanie Jones, and steel-string guitarist Ollo Soikkeli. Gould, a native of Winnipeg, won the Juno for Jazz Album of the Year for her debut release, Elegant Traveler. When she's not touring, Gould is professor and head of the guitar department at Humber College in Toronto.

7:30 p.m., Wednesday, Feb. 15, Lensic Performing Arts Center, 211 W. San Francisco St., $25-$39, 505-988-1234, lensic.org
