The Art of the Guitar concert series, presented by Julia A. Miller and Articular Facet, are an outgrowth of an SAIC class which spans the history of the modern guitar and related instruments from the Renaissance to the present, particularly to the avant. Important considerations include, but are not limited to, guitar construction (classical, acoustic, and electric), the guitar as a model in artistic practice, and guitar performance practice. Art of the Guitar is particularly concerned with a synthesis of styles and techniques, and cross pollination.
