Summer School
Summer School 2026
The 2026 CGS Summer School presented 5 days (5th to 9th January 2026) of intensive learning and musical challenge at Ascham School, Edgecliff.
Participants enjoyed a stellar Summer School tutor team and Guest Tutor, Ingrid Riollot, in small ensembles, workshops, masterclasses and the mighty Guitar Orchestra under the baton of Richard Charlton. Concerts by Andrew Blanch and the Summer School Tutors were highlights throughout the week. It was an inspirational start to our 2026 year!
Here are some comments from our participants:
Beautifully run, excellent musicians generously imparting and sharing their knowledge and skills. Loved every minute of it. (C.M.)
A truly wonderful experience. (S.B.) It was so relaxing, informative, fun and a great time to connect with guitar friends socially and musically. (C.M.) Every day was interesting and musically rewarding -it was also lots of fun and empowering. (S.S-F.) Summer School this year was a blast…the best artistic experience I could possibly have in any year. (G.T.)
