This year’s multimedia tribute is to two NYGS faculty who were among the most influential teachers of the last half century: Maestros Oscar Ghiglia and Bruce Holzman.
Maestro Ghiglia (1938-2024) had a long international career as a performer and educator. He was a student of Andrés Segovia, recording and performing worldwide for over 70 years. In addition to performing, he was a passionate teacher, founding the summer guitar master classes at Aspen Music Festival in the early 1970s. Following his time as Segovia’s assistant at the Accademia Musicale Chigiana in Siena, Italy, he continued to lead the Chigiana class for nearly 50 years, and held visiting professorships at multiple conservatories. In 2008, the NYGS featured “The Ghiglia Legacy,” in honor of his 70th birthday.
Maestro Bruce Holtzman (1950-2023) was the epitome of a dedicated teacher. He was the Director of the Guitar Program at Florida State University from 1972 until his passing in 2023. He held many visiting professorships around the world. His students have won prizes at all the most prestigious international competitions and teach at the top colleges, conservatories, and universities throughout the world. The fifth NYGS, “El Maestro/Tradition of the Masters” took place in 2005 and was affectionately known as “BruceFest,” honoring Bruce with the lifetime achievement award.
Both maestros were deeply revered by the guitar community and both are deeply missed. This celebration of their lives, music, and contributions to the guitar will be led by their disciples Laura Oltman and Michael Newman, featuring tributes by a dozen guitar luminaries.

This year, we are hosting a special multimedia tribute to the legendary Brazilian guitarists Carlos Barbosa-Lima, who died in 2022, and Sérgio Abreu, who passed in early 2023.
Of Mr. Barbosa-Lima, The NY Times once wrote that he, “made his points modestly and quietly, but with such authority that each work he played became an absorbing musical experience.”
Mr. Abreu was known as an extraordinary guitar player as well as a world-class luthier.
This special event on June 26, 2023, features NYGS faculty members João Luiz, Matt Kaplan and Pierre Ferreyra-Mansilla, and Larry Del Casale and Francisco Roldán.
