The Classical Guitar Retreat offers an intensive four day residential course which immerses the students into the world of Classical Guitar. Every student on the course receives an individual lesson with their choice of teacher, alongside this are opportunities to perform in Masterclasses. Participation in the Guitar Orchestra is a highlight of the course culminating in the Orchestra’s performance in the Student Concert on the final night!
The 2012 CGR boasts a highly experienced and international Teaching Team.
On the purely Classical Guitar side Dale Kavanagh, Thomas Kirchhoff, Antonio Fruscella & Matthew McAllister will all be giving individual private lessons throughout the duration of the course alongside the insightful masterclasses of Marcin Dylla.
A unique element of the Classical Guitar Retreat course is the opportunity to participate in Chamber Music Workshops with other instruments. In 2012 students have the chance to join Irish Flautist Aisling Agnew, Italian Pianist Rania Debs and Scottish Cellist Robert Irvine to get some first class Chamber music Coaching. The Chamber Music Workshops are a great opportunity to learn new repertoire, enhance ensemble skills and seek invaluable feedback and insight from musicians who play other instruments.
On the academic side the CG Retreat features a series of lectures by tutors and guest artists, further details about the 2012 Lecture Series & full course details will appear here soon.
