     The New Mexico Classical Guitar Festival(formerly known as the Santa Fe Classical Guitar Festival) is a three day workshop for classical guitar lovers of all levels. The workshop is presented by the Summer Guitar Workshop. It will be held on the beautiful campus of New Mexico Tech which is located in Socorro, New Mexico. Socorro is about 70 miles south of Albuquerque off I-25. The festival will be held from  July 10-12. Tuition for the festival is $175 plus room and board. For more detailed information regarding costs look in the tuition header.

          Students will participate in ensembles, technique seminars and a student recital.  Beginning, intermediate and advanced classical guitar students are welcome to participate in the workshop. Faculty members will perform in concert on Friday and Saturday evenings. Classes will begin on Friday at 3pm and the week-end will conclude with a student recital on Sunday afternoon. Come join us for a spectacular week-end of music making in the beautiful campus of New Mexico Tech.

 

Please note that we have relocated this summer to New Mexico Tech in Socorro, NM. We plan on being back in Santa Fe in 2010 but this summer's workshop will be held at the beatiful New Mexico Tech campus.
