St. Joseph International Guitar Festival
Missouri Western State College
St. Joseph, Missouri, USA
July 14 - July 18, 2003
Missouri Western State College is pleased to announce the first annual St. Joseph International Guitar Festival. Presenting some of the leading guitarists and musicians from the US and Europe, the festival will include masterclasses, seminars, lectures and concerts. Beyond the traditional festival format, we have included a number of other classes of interest to musicians (career development, pedagogy, using the internet to expand your career, legal insights for musicians, working overseas, cooking, yoga for musicians, etc.). There will also be an extensive guitar builders show.
The wide range of activities, quality of performers and the price, promise to make this festival a unique and exciting opportunity for all guitarists and audiences from the US and Overseas.
Sincerely,
Anthony L. Glise,
Festival Director
