TWO OF THE WORLD'S LEADING GUITARISTS TO TEACH AT THE SUMMER ACADEMY OF THE MUSIC DEPARTMENT OF THE IONIAN UNIVERSITY

Two of the world's most famous guitarists, PAUL GALBRAITH and CARLO DOMENICONI will be giving masterclasses, seminars and recitals during an exciting week of music making on the island of Lesbos in Mithymna (Molyvos) the birthplace of the mythical guitarist Arion. This is the 1st Summer Academy for Classical Guitar, part of a series of summer courses which have been successfully offered by the Music Department of the Ionian University since 2003 on the island of Corfu.

Highlighting the guitar's position in the wider world of music, emphasis will also be placed on how to approach guitar works as musical works rather than simply guitar works. Part of the programme will also incorporate workshops for guitar orchestra. The works that are to be rehearsed on a daily basis will be sent to participants in advance. The guitar orchestra will perform in the student concert that will take place at the end of the academy week. The guitar orchestral workshops will be held by KORINA VOUGIOUKA.

The workshops, master classes as well as the final student concert will be open to every participant who wishes to perform.
