New Master Classes

GuitarSarasota is proud to present two extraordinary teachers of the classical guitar in a master class setting. Each master class will give four students, selected by our Director of Educational Outreach, the opportunity to work with these two world class professionals. Members of GuitarSarasota are eligible for scholarships. Non-members pay a $50 fee per 30 minute class. Please contact Joseph Downs at downsj@fc.manatee.k12.fl.us for further information.

Master classes are open and free to the general public. Seating is limited.

Location: Parrish Hall St. Paul Lutheran Church, 2256 Bahia Vista Street in Sarasota, FL. Time: 1pm – 3pm both times

Our January 20, 2008 master class will feature Professor Thomas Müller-Pering. In 1997, Thomas was appointed professor of guitar at the Hochschule für Musik Franz Liszt in Weimar, Germany. Thomas is one of only a handful of guitarists that have won a prize at the prestigious German Television (ARD) classical music competition in Munich. His other prizes include a first-prize at the Concurso Internacional de Música 1983 in Vina del Mar, Chile; and the Young Artist's Award 1983 from Nordrhein-Westfalen in Germany.
