CGC Summer School 2018 (Update)

CGC Summer School 2018 (Update)

posted on June 15, 2018

Dear CGC friends!

It has been a wonderful week at the Classical Guitar Corner Summer School 2018. We have guitarists from all over the world who have come to enjoy a musical retreat with classes, concerts, lessons, lectures, socializing and performances.

There are 63 of us all together and it has been wonderful making new friends as well as welcoming back friends that we have missed since last year!

The final concert will be live streamed on Facebook at 7:30 Eastern Time in the US.

You can watch the concert stream here:

There have been many highlights that I will share in a more thorough post about the summer school, but for now please enjoy some sights from the 2018 summer school:

    What great fun–I’m enjoying your enjoyment with this! I’ll try to tune in on Sunday…just a funny coincidence; I was going to start practicing again– tomorrow as a matter of fact, now that things in my wayward life have settled down again.

    Right not, in case you’re wondering, I’m listening right now to some of my favorite Tchaikovsky – Violin Concerto in D major, Op. 35 – Itzhak Perlman https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CTE08SS8fNk. This is an older production here.

    Ahh…music!!!!! Just can’t get enough of it.

    Cheers!

    I am so pleased I came all the way from Australia for this! It’s been a BIG fun week! I hope that some of my new American friends come to Sydney summer school next January!

    EVERYBODY is absolutely awesome!
    It’s been wonderful to finally meet face to face so many great guitar nuts like me!
    It’s also a great enjoyment to make new friends and together explore the amazing world of the classical guitar.
    I’m coming back next year, of course!
