Following the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic, Nicolas Meier launched his Garden/Home Live Steaming Concerts as a way to connect with his audience and to convey a taste of live music despite the restrictions brought on by the virus.

This summer, Nicolas Meier continues to invite fellow musicians and together they explore various musical horizons, from jazz to world music. The concerts are free, but donations are welcome.

UK-based guitarist, composer and producer Nicolas Meier has carved out a reputation as an internationally renowned guitarist. Drawing on a love of Turkish, Eastern and Middle Eastern music, Flamenco, Tango and more - all mixed with jazz - Meier's versatility and musical fluency extend well beyond that.
