Suzuki Music Schools' popular Connecticut Guitar Festival returns for a fourth year the weekend of March 5th - 7th!!

Prepare for this year's virtual festival with our weekly video series "Concert and Conversation", hosted by Sven Rainey, SMS instructor and Educational Director of the Connecticut Guitar Festival. Each week, the show spotlights national and international guitarists, chatting about their creative projects, innovative collaborations, and how they are staying connected with audiences during this challenging time.

The series premieres with classical guitarist and member of the Luca Duo, Jaclyn Jones, January 15th, and continues every Friday at Noon EST on the CGF Facebook page and Suzuki Music Schools' Facebook and Youtube pages and runs until the start of the festival.
