Armin Kelly Founder and Owner, Guitars International Artistic Director, Cleveland International Classical Guitar Festival Acknowledgements We wish to thank the following for their generous support of this year s Festival: Cleveland Institute of Music Administration and Staff: Paul Hogle, President Judy Bundra, Chief Academic Officer and Dean of The Conservatory Madeline Lucas Tolliver, Interim Executive Director, Preparatory & Continuing Education and Performance Operations Amy Brondyke, Director of Marketing and Communications Whitney Clair, Marketing & Publications Manager Wendy Waldron, Event Manager Allison George, Production & Ensembles Coordinator Emily Stack, Facilities and Box Office Coordinator Rachel Kunce, Admissions Counselor Alan Bise, Director of Recording Arts and Services Security Guards: Jane Macarthy, Mike Moore, and Katrina Dixon who always make us feel so welcome and the CIM Guitar Department students, to whom this festival is dedicated. For it is in live, heightened moments of musical magic in our experience when art and chance coalesce, time stops, and egos dissolve that often we become most mindful of our shared humanity. Our reasons for presenting this Festival are several: (1) to entertain (2) to educate (3) to encourage deeper thought and discussion about how we listen to, perform, and evaluate fine music (4) to nurture new and old relationships, artistic and social and, most important, (5) to help facilitate moments of heightened spiritual awareness. In presenting this event it has been my honor to work with Jason Vieaux, 2015 Grammy Award Winner and Cleveland Institute of Music Guitar Department Head Colin Davin of the Cleveland Institute of Music s Conservatory Guitar Faculty and Tom Poore, a devoted guitar teacher and superb writer. #whyiplayĥ Welcome Welcome to the eighteenth annual Cleveland International Classical Guitar Festival. 4 Come play with us!
