WATCH: Excerpts from CCM Classical Guitar concert available on demand

Watch excerpts from the CCM Classical Guitar Ensemble's April 5, 2022, concert in Robert J. Werner Recital Hall. The performance was recorded and edited by students in Media Production Professor Chris Glover's Multi-camera Production Class. 

Led by CCM Director of Classical Guitar Christopher Wilke, the performance features Fandango by Santiago de Murica, "Complex" from Triplex by Annette Kruisbrink, Adoration by Florence Price (arr. Christopher Wilke), and "Allegro moderato brilliante" from Duo Concertant, Op. 31, No. 1 by Antoine de L'Hoyer.

The concert features students Noah Ward, Timofey Kozikov and Peter Kapourales with Christopher Wilke. 

The study of classical guitar at CCM is strongly performance based. The cornerstone of all degree programs is private lessons with faculty, who serve as mentors for students and direct their individual musical, performing and teaching growth. 

The curriculum emphasizes the development of the well-rounded, holistic musician by providing a solid background in music history and theory as well as areas specific to each musical medium. Undergraduate students enjoy a close collaboration with the University of Cincinnati through a general education core that supplements their education with academic course work while graduate students specialize more precisely in their chosen field.
