ECMS Guitar Ensembles Directed by Petar Kodzas, ECMS, November 16, 2015

Youth Ensemble No. 1

The first hour of this RGC meeting focused on ensemble performance. Our speial guest tonight was Professor Petar Kodzas, Senior Guitar Instructor from the Eastman Community Music School. The players ranged from elementary through High School students to adults, all under the direction of Professor Kodzas. Many family members and friends were present to enjoy the music. The evening was an acoustic pleasure for players and audience alike. The second hour featured solos and a duet in a typical round robin session.
