Message from Dr. Lausell
We are back with the 8th edition of the SIU International Guitar Festival and we could not be more excited. This edition is dedicated to both the classical and popular traditions of the guitar in Brazil.
While the guitar still remains a very popular musical instrument there are certain cultures that have been pillars of its history and musical development. Spain and Italy come to mind as the places of inception for the guitar where the transformation from the Arabic Oud into our beloved fretted chordophone took place. We associate classical and romantic music with Italy and France, Flamenco with Spain, Bossa Nova with Brazil, Jazz, Blues and Rock with the U.S. however there is much more going on in each place. Nuances and additional traditions that forged the guitar into the instrument that we know nowadays.
An SIU favorite, professor Moacyr Teixeira Neto from Espirito Santo, Brazil will be returning to our festival to perform, teach and present his new guitar book as well as to premiere a concerto by celebrated Italo-Brazilian composer Marcus Vinicius.
This year we are fortunate to partner with the SIU Library to host Mr, Franco Galvaõ from Saõ Paulo, Brazil. Francisco is a wonderful guitarist devoted to the popular musical idioms of Brazil whom will also be performing, teaching and researching our music collection by Brazilian composer Oswaldo Gogliano, better known as Vadico.
Who is this festival for? Anyone who loves guitar music! We have activities suitable for professional musicians, aspiring guitar students, weekend warriors and anybody that simply enjoys good music.
Stay healthy, stay safe and see you soon,
—Dr. Isaac Lausell
