This May, some of the finest young guitarists in Minnesota between the ages of 8 and 18 will assemble to perform in the Fourth Annual Minnesota Guitar Society (MGS) Youth Guitarathon, a spectacular two and a half hour concert featuring an assortment of guitar styles.
The Youth Guitarathon is a collaborative event created by MGS board member Brent Weaver with help from other members of the MGS, teachers, parents, and the Guitar Program of the University of Minnesota’s Music Department. Performers will audition on April 25th before a panel of teachers and players. All participants in the audition will receive critique sheets with positive feedback from each judge one week after auditions. The audition is free to MGS members. The cost to audition for nonmembers is $15, which includes a one-year MGS membership.
