Last week I visited Ralf Winkelmann, one of the nicest people I know. He is a German guitarist,  teacher and organizer of a concert series. His last project was composing music for Frederick, a production of das Bremer Figurentheater of which he is playing a small part in this ‘candid camera’ video.

This is Ema Kapor. Ema is a very talented, young guitarist (13 years old) from Belgrade who came with her mother, all the way to Amsterdam to pick up her 2A guitar. She is very happy with it. I am sure we will here a lot from Ema.

I was a bit worried that she expected a new guitar because, like her husband said, ‘that was not the case’

It happened to be a Bam flight case, her birthday present from her husband.  As you can tell, she is very happy with it.

Yiannis Giagourtas came to the workshop to pick up his new guitar.

He is a very good player. Now studying with Zoran Dukic at the Koninklijk Conservatorium in den Haag.

Watch him or read more about him on Classical Guitar Review

Two weeks ago I heard a very beautiful concert of Sanel in Enkhuizen.
