Join us for an extraordinary evening with Jeff Wells, owner of one of the world's most remarkable collections of historic guitars. This rare event offers a unique opportunity to explore the evolution of the guitar through centuries of craftsmanship and musical innovation.
Jeff Wells, a former classical guitarist turned finance professional, will showcase select pieces from his Austin-Marie Collection, valued at several million dollars. These exquisite instruments, dating from the 1600s to the 1800s, represent the main line of guitar evolution and include rare survivors from the Peninsular War.
We are thrilled to welcome two exceptional musicians—Jon Mendle and Emilia Diaz Delgado—who will perform on select guitars from the collection.
