Overview
The international classical guitar community's premier event will be held in historic Columbus, Georgia. This year's host is the Schwob School of Music, Columbus State University, and our host liaison Andrew Zohn. The convention will be held at RiverCenter for the Performing Arts in downtown Columbus, which also serves as the home of the Schwob School of Music. This facility, indicative of the Schwob School’s rise to excellence, includes the finest performance spaces in the city. Its three superb concert halls enjoy outstanding acoustics and attract large and enthusiastic audiences each year. The 2011 Convention features concerts with celebrated artists from around the world, interactive workshops on a wide range of topics, 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.
Participate!
If you've attended but never truly participated in the GFA Convention (or if you've never attended at all!), 2011 is the year to change that. After great success at the event in 2009 and 2010, 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. We hope you'll take advantage of these exciting opportunities to play and learn!
