One of the key components of the Classical Guitar Corner Summer School is playing with other musicians. In that vein, each year participants play in the large orchestra (made up of around 60 guitarists) and also in a small ensemble (of up to around 12 guitarists). Participants don’t see the music they will perform until the first day of practice and they are expected to perform in both small ensemble and orchestra by the end of the week! This year we had some fantastic small ensemble performances. We present them to you here for your viewing pleasure!

A. York, Brajamazil
A. York, Brajamazil directed by Berta Rojas was really very nice. Ms. Rojas directed the musicians so well and internalized the spirit of the music. I liked especially her right-hand gestures as I could see her playing her own guitar at times.
Well done everybody.
