Join us online via YouTube for a free concert. However, we would appreciate donations via our Tip Jar. Proceeds will be distributed evenly between the artists. Music by Mathew James, Regondi, Tárrega, Tate, Rogatis, Hartzell, and Tamayo.

Please go to classicalmindsfestival.org to fill out your online application. For the workshop in September we will have four intense workshops given by Mathew James, Eleanor Kelly, Daniela Rossi and Valérie Hartzell. We will focus on Carcassi No 2: how to base dynamics on analysis, left hand work out, right hand work out, and how to practise to practise properly. Eleanor will be focusing on a slur workout, separate for the Etude. The idea is that you will be able to walk away with the ability to apply everything you have learned to another piece or Etude. We will suggest another piece to learn that is similar to the Carcassi Etude and we will meet for another online workshop in January or February.

Tuition: £50 for active participants (anyone in lessons or playing guitar for a year or more) and £30 for non-active participants (observers with guitars - complete beginners). Participants will not be asked to perform. The faculty only wish to make sure participants understand the concept through short demonstrations. This will allow the faculty to assist and adjust so all participants understand. Not a guitarist? For £15 you can pop in and out watching the workshop and then join us for the concert via YouTube. The fees include 1 ticket.

Link to concert: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNTUbgh6EAI This is an online YouTube Premiere event. Audiences will be able to comment as the concert takes place and talk to me. I will be performing works by Thierry Tisserand, Led Zeppelin, Llobet, and my own composition, It Takes Two. I cannot sell tickets but I will have my tip jar available for donations. If you already donated in December, thank you! If you have not had a chance, you can contribute towards my upcoming CD, "Promises Kept." I am currently in the process of recording the rest of the CD. Thank you!

On the 19th of December, 2020 at 7pm I will have a premiere YouTube recording which will guarantee quality audio and video, Plus, I can chat with the audience as it's going on! The concert is free but I will have a donation jar up on the events page. I realise that the holidays is tough on everyone, including us. The proceeds will be going toward my CD recording. With this pandemic, musicians need to find new ways to reach out to the public. On the positive side of things, people from all over the world (not just here in the UK) can watch this concert. Thank you for your support! Can't be there at the premiere? No worries, the link will be live until the 9th of January, 2021. I will perform my own composition, music by English composers Chris Dumigan (a premiere), Timothy Royal, Paul Ibbotson, and Mark Houghton, American composer Scott Ouellette, Jason Greenberg (world premiere), French composer Thierry Tisserand, Villa-Lobos, Tárrega and Christmas music to lift your spirits!
