Buffalo is known for its great appreciation of guitarists, and their
works. Throughout the year, via a number of special events and
competitions, virtuosos from far and wide visit this city to play at
various venues. One of those respected and highly anticipated occasions
is The Leo Brouwer International Composition Competition, which is
hosted by The Buffalo State Guitar Club and Buffalo State Music
Department. The event will take place at Buffalo State from Friday March
15 to Sunday March 17 on the Buffalo State campus, including Rockwell Hall and the Burchfield Penney Art Center. The Leo Brouwer International Composition Competition will culminate with lectures and performances in the Louis P Ciminelli Recital Hall at Rockwell Hall – see full schedule of events.
