Join some of the world’s greatest guitarists as the Guitar Foundation of America comes to San Francisco for the first time ever. It will take place at the new Conservatory facility as well as the Veteran’s Building.

The San Francisco Conservatory of Music Guitar Department will grow to around 40 students in the 08-09 academic year, and it will welcome Sergio Assad as a new Professor of Guitar. The Department recently inaugurated the bi-annual Wesley Day Solo Classical Guitar Recording Competition, in which the winner gets a fully funded cd production and a tour of California campuses. The winner of the first competition was Tanenbaum’s Bulgarian student, Antoniy Kakamakov.
