As Festival Director and on behalf of Cuesta College's Community Programs Department and the Cuesta Guitar Circle, it is my privilege to invite you to the 2005
La Guitarra California Festival.

Our three-day classical guitar festival, La Guitarra California, will be held September 23rd, 24th and 25th, 2005 at Cuesta College in San Luis Obispo, CA.  San Luis Obispo is equal distances between San Francisco and Los Angeles on the beautiful Central Coast.

Presented by the Cuesta Guitar Circle and sponsored by Cuesta College’s Community Programs Department, the 2005 Festival will feature 20 internationally acclaimed artists performing in 16 separate events!  There will be four Master-classes, numerous luthier exhibits, and the famous Forderer Collection of Rare and Historical Guitars will be on display.

Since our 1999 Festival, La Guitarra California has become one of the premier classical guitar festivals in the United States with ever increasing international interest.
