The Elder Conservatorium Guitar Ensemble.

Classical guitar students from the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide's Elder Conservatorium of Music will present a diverse program of solo and chamber music as part of this year鈥檚 Guitarathon.

Under the direction of senior lecturer Dr Oliver Fartach-Naini undergraduate and postgraduate students as well as up-and-coming students from the Elder Conservatorium鈥檚 Open Music Academy, will perform in Elder Hall on Sunday 6 November as part of this year鈥檚 Guitarathon.

Now in its fifth year, Guitarathon is a free six-hour concert packed with gems of the classical guitar鈥檚 rich repertoire.

Dr Oliver Fartach-Naini said: 鈥淎s the end of the university year approaches, this is a fun way for our students to showcase what they have been working on.

鈥淭his is a great way for people to get a taste of what classical guitar has to offer, without having to commit to a timeframe or even paying for a ticket. People can come and go as they please, with gourmet burgers from Daisy Burger and wine available to purchase.

鈥淭his is a celebration of the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide鈥檚 thriving classical guitar community.鈥
