Hi guys, we have arrived to the last one of the 3 evenings of the solo guitar festival i am organizing in italy. Claude will be concluding this third edition. So, it is a pleasure to finally have one of us at this festival. Here are some info: 2002 EDITION: Tuesday, July the 9th Elliott Sharp Pino Dieni Tuesday, July the 16th Fred Frith Pietro Nobile Tuesday, July the 16th Claude Voit Claudio Gabbiani PAST EDITIONS: 2000 First edition August, the 27th: Bebo Ferra - Acoustic Guitar in Jazz Rolf Lislevand - Liuto and Tiorba, baroque music before the invention of Guitar September, the 3rd: Franco Morone - Fingerpicking Guitar Luca Formentini - Electric and fretless Guitars and deep processing.

Everyone knows what one is, but few know of it's remarkable ability to transcend musical and stylistic boundaries. Of course, there are different kinds and styles of guitar: Classical, Acoustic, Electric, but the stylistic breadth of the guitar transcends these classifications. One can, for example, use a Classical nylon string guitar to play many kinds of music besides 'Classical' music. Or one can use specially treated guitars (alligator clips, forks and knives, etc.) to play the 'Blues'. This series of concerts hosts two different Guitar players from diverging backgrounds. In each evenings performance, each guitarist will play one 40 to 50 minutes set. Each concert will present audiences with two radically different guitar worlds. The likelihood of encountering a style that is exotic and unfamiliar is very high. One of the chief goals of the festival is to acquaint people with the amount of stylistic diversity that exists in the Guitar world.The hope of the performances is to expand the musical vocabulary of the listener: to leave them with a new appreciation for new and unusual Guitaristic techniques; to celebrate the Guitar! The concerts will be held in Desenzano del Garda (south Garda Lake, between Verona and Brescia), in the ancient 14th Century Closter of Santa Maria de Senioribus.
