WORDS OF WELCOME When something is too good to be true, it may be promoted as "no strings attached." Today, however, all strings are not only well secured, but they are humming with beautiful airs, having been set in motion by talented musicians. A conclave of expert guitarists will certainly find a warm welcome at Carleton University. We are proud of our talented faculty including James Wright, Roddy Ellias and Wayne Eagles who put their minds together to create this event. At Carleton we have a particular fondness for interdisciplinarity so, this featured myriad of styles is most appropriate. Our musicians dlve daily into history, global, cultural influences, and brilliant interpretations. They have prepared this audience well for the international stars joining us. Carleton is located at the confluence of the Rideau Canal and Rideau River. Between the UNESCO heritage site recognizing the past and a rapid stream racing confidently to the future, Carleton provides a beautiful, natural setting from which you will find inspiration. On behalf of all my colleagues, I welcome you warmly. Sincerely yours, Roseann O'Reilly Runte President, Carleton University It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to Guitar Now 2013, a celebration of music and guitars which brings together a variety of styles and musicians of all levels for an outstanding weekend of workshops and performances and everything in between. One of the greatest joys in music is to listen and connect with other musicians, to share and discover new styles and different approaches. Guitar Now has gathered guitarists from all over the world, as well as local and regional performers, whose styles range from country picking to classical to contemporary improvisation. Not only are they world class performers, they are world class people. I expect the musical encounters which are not scheduled will likely be just as amazing as the ones which are, and so I encourage all of you to learn, to share, and of course, to listen. On behalf of Carleton University, and especially music faculty members James Wright, Wayne Eagles and myself, may I wish you a musical weekend you will never forget. Roddy Ellias Convener, Guitar Now 2013 Associate Performance Faculty Member Carleton University It’s both a great pleasure and a great honour for the Music program within Carleton University’s School for Studies in Art and Culture (SSAC) to play host to Guitar Now 2013 . This three-day event, organized by faculty members within SSAC-Music and welcoming a glittering roster of internationally acclaimed performers, embraces and explores an impressively eclectic range of guitar styles, offering both workshops and performances open to anyone and everyone interested in one of the world’s most ubiquitous and popular musical instruments. As director of the School I extend a very warm Carleton and Ottawa welcome to all presenters and attendees of Guitar Now 2013 . Brian Foss, Director School for Studies in Art and Culture Carleton University Welcome to Guitar Now 2013, arguably the first eclectic guitar gathering of its kind in Canada!
