Overview
The international classical guitar community's premier event will be held in bustling, historic Austin, Texas. This year's host is the Austin Classical Guitar Society, led by Matthew Hinsley. The 2010 Convention features concerts with celebrated artists from around the world, interactive workshops on topics ranging from technique to flamenco interpretation, and scholarly lectures to nourish the intellectual appetite. The Vendor Fair, International Concert Artist Competition, and Youth Competitions are regular features not to be missed.
Exciting New Features in Austin!
If you've attended but never truly participated in the GFA Convention (or if you've never attended at all!), 2010 is the year to change that. After great success at the event in 2009, this year's GFA Convention once again welcomes all participants to perform in a Guitar Orchestra. In addition, we're continuing the ever-popular Private Lesson Package, open to the first 50 registrants who apply. These registrants will receive three private lessons with Convention artists or GFA Board Members for an additional fee of $120. Finally, we are pleased to unveil two inaugural events in Austin. The first-ever GFA Presenters' Congress will provide executive training programs for presenters and unprecedented networking opportunities for players and managements. Another newly-minted event will offer an affordable 3-day mini festival for middle-school and high-school guitar programs, forming a Youth Orchestra - an unforgettable large ensemble festival experience.
We hope these new features will provide an engaging educational opportunity for serious younger students and adult hobbyists alike.
