Previous Announcements and Academies
A exciting announcement regarding the Victoria Conservatory of Music’s Summer Guitar Academy and Competition for 2011.
It is with great pleasure and anticipation that I am announcing a new artistic director for the Summer Guitar Academy: Victoria’s own Dr. Alexander Dunn. Alexander Dunn teaches at the University of Victoria and the Victoria Conservatory of Music.
For the past three years I have had a wonderful time being artistic director. I have seen the festival grow both in the general level of the students, quality of the teaching and performances, and in the number of registrations. This growth combined with a financially stable program will ensure this year’s academy to be the best yet!
Dr. Dunn has a great deal of experience as a festival organizer and, being a virtuoso player himself, will ensure a very exciting and dynamic change to the academy! From what I’ve seen so far, Dr. Dunn’s plans look very exciting.
From Dr. Alexander Dunn:
I am delighted to assume directorship of the Summer Guitar Academy at the Victoria Conservatory of Music. Building on the amazing leadership and vision of Bradford Werner, the SGA will continue to offer an exceptional guitar festival – mark your calendar for July 12-16, 2011 for the upcoming edition of the Summer Guitar Academy, including western Canadian guitarists and guests.
