Petra Poláčková: CGC Guest Artist

We are excited to announce that our first guest artist for the CGC Summer School 2025 will be none other than Czech guitarist Petra Poláčková!

Petra teaches at several schools in Austria, including the prestigious Franz Schubert Music School in Fürstenfeld. She is an expert in the music of S.L. Weiss and 19th-century guitar music. We are excited to have her join our Guest Artist Faculty for this year’s Summer School!
