[Among] two of the most important annual American classical guitar events
(Classical Guitar Magazine)
Please join us
in welcoming our Spring 2021 roster of world renowned artists, teachers, and the James Stroud Classical Guitar Competition Finalists in a concentrated series of concerts, premieres, master classes,
private lessons,
lectures, and exhibits celebrating the classical guitar and art music: solo and ensemble, old and new.
Our reasons for presenting this Festival are several:
(1) To engage and inspire our participants both emotionally and intellectually; (2) to encourage deeper thought and discussion about how we listen to, perform, and evaluate fine music; (3) to nurture new and old relationships worldwide, artistic and social; and, most important,
(4)
to facilitate shared moments of
universal insight
.
For it is in live, heightened moments of musical magic in our experience—when art and chance coalesce; time stops; and egos dissolve—that often we become most mindful of our shared humanity.
