Stephen Bennett
Guitar Workshop / House Concert

We are delighted to host guitar wizard Stephen Bennett for a day of musical amazement in our home in Centerville DE on Saturday January 24, 2009. In the afternoon Steve will conduct a small-group instructional workshop for guitar students at all levels, followed by a small house concert later that evening. Steve is widely known for both his astonishing guitar skills, and his exceptional ability as a guitar teacher. He is a long time, much appreciated veteran of numerous guitar camps (including Steve Kaufman’s Acoustic Music Kamp), and one of the only individuals ever to win prizes at the Winfield National Guitar Championships in both flatpicking and fingerstyle guitar. He has toured extensively with Tommy Emmanuel, and is also widely known for his virtuosity, and innovative use and performance with the (very cool) harp guitar.

The afternoon instructional workshop will run from 1-4, and the evening concert will start at 7:30. The price for the workshop is $65, and the evening concert tickets are $25 (students attending both the workshop and the concert will be charged $80 for both). Please note that all proceeds will be immediately turned directly over to the artist. Our location is in Centerville DE which is fairly convenient to Wilmington, Philadelphia, Chadds Ford PA, and south/central NJ. For more information, and to reserve seats please contact Steve Broitman at sbroitman@wcupa.edu , or at (302) 654-8306.
