Musicians Institute is turning up the volume this summer with a one-of-a-kind Guitar Show & Clinic featuring two absolute shredders: guitar icon Tony MacAlpine and MI graduate turned global touring artist, Luis Kalil! 🎸🔥
This exclusive event is happening right here on campus at the MI Concert Hall on July 30, 2025 from 12:00–2:00 PM, and it’s the perfect opportunity for guitar students and fans alike to dive deep into the craft, creativity, and career insights of two guitar powerhouses.
Why You Shouldn’t Miss It
Whether you’re a technical player, a tone chaser, or just obsessed with next-level riffs, this clinic is packed with inspiration. Tony MacAlpine, a pioneer of shred and neoclassical metal, will be sharing his decades of experience in composition, touring, and pushing the limits of the instrument. Alongside him is Luis Kalil, an MI alum who has carved out a killer career touring internationally and recording with some of the heaviest hitters in metal.
