Benise: Strings of Hope

Benise sits on an old stone wall to play his guitar

Sunday, Dec. 5 at 5:30 p.m.

At a time when we need the healing power of music more than ever, Benise provides a deeply personal selection of songs. Filmed in the “Ruins of the Sacred Church,” this new special features Benise performing eight new pieces and seven fan favorites that showcase his Emmy Award-winning stage production over the last 20 years.

“The Prince of Spanish Guitar” adds his signature touch to classics such as “Ave Maria,” “Moonlight Sonata,” “Clair de Lune,” Vivaldi’s “Summer” from The Four Seasons, “Stand By Me” and more. Capturing world music at its best, the program appeals to the hearts and souls of people of all ages, cultures and musical backgrounds.

Select this program when you support Arizona PBS and get the CD/DVD set – or tickets to see Benise in person next February!
