World Guitar Congress Set for Towson, Baltimore in June. Guitarists from styles including classical, jazz, country, rock, blues, flamenco and fusion will gather in Baltimore for a week in June. They'll play in what's being called "The First World Guitar Congress." The event will include concerts, recitals, classes, symposiums and exhibits by leading manufacturers of guitar equipment.
About 50 musicians will participate, including electric guitar pioneer Les Paul, classical guitarist Sharon Isbin and blues musician Pat Martino. Composers Jim Hall and Ronaldo Miranda also are scheduled to appear.
Emilia Segovia, wife of the late guitarist Andres Segovia, is the honorary president of the event.
Organizers say the event will encourage interaction between audiences and performers.
