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:

That looks like an absolute blast! Can’t wait to get in on next summer’s class. Enjoy your last evening and rock that concert tomorrow night. I’m cheering for you all!
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!

We are having such a wonderful time here at Summer School! It’s a great learning experience with a fantastic group of people – both teachers and students.
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!
Bring it out West!
Wish I was there! I’ll be cheering you on from Ohio!
It looks like you are all having a wonderful week. I’ll be watching the concert this evening on Facebook. I look forward to seeing you all. Best of luck this evening. I second Louis: Bring it out West!
