Welcome to the website for Albuquerque's newest guitar organization!

 

GUITAR Albuquerque



Guitar Albuquerque (GA) is a meeting place for the vast guitar community in Albuquerque.  Here, the guitar has a long history starting with Hector Garcia founding the first degree granting guitar program in the Western U.S. at the University of Albuquerque and then later founding the program at the University of New Mexico (UNM).  Michael Chapdelaine has continued this work at UNM.  Their students populate the leading institutions in the Southwest and exude a tremendous vitality and enthusiasm for the instrument.


“Our aim is to foster the already established guitar community and bring a common ground where young guitarists, guitar aficionados, and professionals can meet.”


GA artistic directors Benjamin Silva and Joseph Williams carry with them the knowledge and experience necessary to pursue this endeavor.  They have performed in three continents and in various setting from chamber music to solo recitals, won prizes in numerous competitions and are part of the national guitar community.  They teach at many of the areas top music programs: among these are the University of New Mexico, New Mexico School of Music, Public Academy for Performing Arts, and Adams State College.

 

Guitar-abq.org offers a resource for people interested in finding a teacher, expert builders, performers, and local & international events.
