““Welcome to the 25th New York Guitar Seminar! It is hard to believe how quickly those twenty-five years have flown past. The world has seen pandemic, adversity, and political upheaval, but throughout everything there has always been music. Music is the motivating force in the lives of our students, our colleagues, our composers, all the hundreds of participants of the New York Guitar Seminar over this quarter century.
Musicians may not be able to perform surgery or put out fires, but there are times when a concert – or practicing the guitar in a quiet room – can heal a mortal wound or dispel the dark clouds for a while and make life worth living. This is the wonder of music. Thank you for allowing to share that with you for these many years. We hope you can join us for a few days of making and sharing music together!!””
