Today, thirteen students from our Los Angeles Youth Guitar Orchestra (LAYGO) left for Stuttgart, Germany, for a two-week music intensive with their friends Guittarreando, a local youth guitar ensemble that visited the Conservatory last fall.

The students will stay with host families for the duration of the trip and will study, practice, perform, and explore the music scene in and around the city in the company of musicians, teachers, and fellow students from Germany (as well as a few parents and teachers from PCM).

In addition to our very own guitar department chair Felix Bullock, they’ll be studying with Irina Kircher and Alfonso Montes. Stay tuned for updates about their adventures!
