Syros: Hermoupolis Guitar Festival, 16th Festival, July 12 -16 2009

The 16th Festival is almost here!!!! Exciting concerts, interesting classes, valuable workshops....

50 years without Heitor Villa Lobos! A mythic name to guitarists and a composer that wrote music so well … fitted on the guitar.
I remember happy students exploring the fingerboard with the amazing 1st prelude, an introducing piece for many to the wonderful world of music!

16th Guitar Festival this year, so many things to remember…
Festival’s main idea is to combine different things like, music, vacation, learning and relaxing. To present the widest possible musical disciplines through concerts, tuition, ensemble playing, and workshops. And at the same time, to be open to all ages and levels of ability, to performers, teachers, students, and to the audience who loves music.

It’s a risky game, but I think we have made some all these years!Organizing a music festival and being a musician, it’s a dirty job!
But someone had to do it, so… I ‘ll do my best!
