Greenwich Guitar Festival

Hello,

I am delighted to announce the first Greenwich Guitar Festival, London will take
place in just a few months’ time from July 1st. – July 3rd  2015 at Trinity
Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance situated on the magnificent grounds of
the Old Royal Naval College, Greenwich.   Recital artists will include Edoardo
Catemario, John Mills and Graham Anthony Devine. Many of the events are free to
attend, including two of the evening recitals and public masterclasses.

There is also a festival classical guitar course which will feature lessons and
course masterclasses from all of the concert artists plus guest tutors Cobie
Smit and Francesco Mariani. The course, which is suitable for players from grade
1+ standard , has a strong emphasis on ensemble playing with chamber music
sessions as well as a guitar orchestra. There are performance classes which will
cover topics such as making the most of practise sessions, technical tips etc.
and each student will also receive two thirty-minute private lessons over the
duration of the festival.

For more information on the festival and guitar course fee, booking info etc.

Hope you can join us for what will surely be a memorable number of days music
making at a very special venue in London this summer!



Very best wishes,

Cirella Mayrink
