Huber Guitar Studio Student Recital – Summer 2019

Twice a year, in the winter and summer, Huber Guitar Studio hosts a student recital downstairs in the eclectic parlor room of the James E. Hooper House. This past July, students had a chance to polish up their songs and perform them in front of family, friends, and fellow students. We had quite a range of guitar music from Led Zeppelin to Mississippi John Hurt to Astor Piazzolla, a great mix of music! We all had a chance to mingle afterwards, enjoy refreshments, and talk about music and guitar. All students are encouraged to participate to develop performance experience.
