Forthcoming Classical Guitar Events

Invitation from Matthew McAllister

Hello everyone,

I hope that some of you will read this and get in touch with me if you fancy having a shot in a masterclass / workshop I am setting up later in the month.

I have invited the Dutch guitarists Peter Thissen & Frank Lamm who make up Duolisme to embark on a tour of Scotland from the 24th September until the 4th October 2008.

I am in the process of setting up an open masterclass which the duo will direct on on Tuesday the 30th Sept and the venue is confirmed as Hall 2, Hillhead Library, Byers Road. 6-9pm

If you are interested in taking part, that could be simply watching the various players perform their pieces and get some inspiring and positive advice and tips from Peter and Frank or if you wish to taketo the stage and perform a piece please get in touch. You can reply to this email or ring me on 0141 339 4296.

This could be an opportunity for students taking exams to play some repertoire, for amateur players to get some top level professional advice and for enthusiasts to sit back and enjoy an afternoon ofguitar music from players of various ages and levels! There will be a relaxed and friendly atmosphere about the day and I hope that many of you are interested in having a go! I have attached a flyer for the duo's Glasgow concert at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music & Drama, this will be a fantastic concert which is not to be missed!
