LECTURE: Thursday, May 23 from 6:30 to 7:45 p.m. Description: Classical guitarist Jonathan Leathwood (England) will discuss how to bring more detailed and nuanced articulation into guitar performance, describing idioms, techniques and practice methods.

In the course of his lecture, Mr. Leathwood will share specific material and study plans for players of all levels.
About the Lecturer: Jonathan Learhwood is equally known as a collaborator with both performers and composers. Recently, he was approached by the legendary guitarist Julian Bream to join him in a project to commission new solo guitar works by major composers, beginning with a substantial work by Sir Harrison Birtwistle.

Exhibition of Fine Contemporary Classical Guitars Biography
|
EXHIBITION: Saturday, May 25 from Noon to 2 p.m. (Performance Demonstration from noon to 12:50 p.m.) Location: CIM Pogue Lobby ( Get Directions) Description: Guitars International will display a selection of fine individually hand made classical guitars by many of today's foremost luthiers. Classical guitarist Jiyeon Kim will present an informal performance demonstration on these instruments from noon to 12:50 p.m. About Fine Classical Guitars: A classical guitar can be a complex creation. On the one hand it can be admired simply as a tangible, static work of art, often breathtakingly beautiful in its physical form. On the other hand it should be first and foremost a tangible, kinetic work of art crafted to breathe and inspire, to give voice to the intangible art of a performer and the works of composers past and present. As such, it should be a conduit between artists of different disciplines and often different times and places. Of course, its ultimate function should be to enable communication not just between diverse artists but between diverse artists and the hearts and minds of an even more diverse population of receptive listeners. It is the ability to mediate between people in general with unimpeded sincerity and ease, then, which is the wonder of a truly fine classical guitar. Admission: Open to the public free of charge. Information: Call Guitars International at (216) 752-7502.
