Brent Gunter — Live at the Newmark Theatre Acclaimed instrumental guitarist and composer Brent Gunter brings a rare, cinematic live performance to the Newmark Theatre, presenting an evening of emotionally resonant music designed for the intimacy and acoustics of a world-class venue. Blending blues-influenced rock, classical tradition, and film-score sensibility, Gunter’s work is marked by technical precision, expressive depth, and a refined sense of atmosphere. His compositions unfold with narrative pacing, inviting audiences into a fully immersive experience where sound, silence, and dynamics are carefully curated. This performance continues Gunter’s focus on presenting instrumental music in select theatres, emphasizing artistry, nuance, and connection over spectacle. The Newmark Theatre provides an ideal setting for this approach—allowing each piece to be experienced with clarity, intimacy, and emotional impact. Audiences can expect an evening that moves beyond genre, offering a sophisticated concert experience shaped by craftsmanship, intention, and quiet intensity.
