Join RhineBuzz for a celebration of world class music -

mix of baroque, Latin American and classical guitar and 
culminating with a 
vibrant fiesta of jazz and rock classics

April 13 at 7.30pm
and all for free!


I receive all sorts of emails asking for support within the international community, but just recently one project has truly captured my imagination - IOLMA, international online music academy.
Students of the Robert Schumann School of Music, award winning guitarists Mircea Gogoncea, Martin Zimny and Aleksandar Vidojevic presented their project to me one Sunday afternoon and as I left their tiny studio, not only inspired by the idea to share their privileged musical education to students who simply do not have the possibility to experience some of the best teachers in the world, I was also stunned at their dedication and business savvy as they presented the 'how does it work' to me in the studio and their vision for the future and how they would like to see their idea of bespoke online music tuition go global.

Partner in the project is Joachín Clerch, winner of the Echo Prize for Classical Music 2009 - the prestigious German music prize, and professor at the Robert Schumann School of Music. His students constantly rave that he is simply one of the most respected teachers of the classical guitar in the world today and when you consider that his students win the greatest competitions for classical guitar on a regular basis, you know that they are not exaggerating!


“Joaquín Clerch is undoubtedly …
… one of the world’s leading figures, perhaps even the leading figure, among the guitarists of his generation.” (Eliot Fisk)
