Mississippi Guitar
Festival 2006
From The Director
It is my pleasure to invite you to the 5th annual Mississippi Guitar
Festival. This years festival returns to its origins at Belhaven
College, where it began in 2002. The idea of having a regional
festival was first suggested by Dr. Miroslav Loncar of William Carey
University and has grown to include 5 colleges from the state of
Mississippi. This year we welcome Nicholas Ciraldo of USM,
Hattiesburg as the festival’s newest faculty member. The artist
faculty from various instituitions in the state of Mississippi will
present lectures and masterclasses intended to challenge and expand
students knowledge of the guitar. Players of all levels and
backgrounds are welcome at the festival. The theme of this years
festival is Building a Musical Community. It is the my conviction
that music belongs not exclusively to the professional, trained
musician but to serious amatueurs and passionate fans. It is our
desire to provide a festival program which will simultaneously be
challenging to the aspiring professional and accessible to the serious
amatueur. This years guest artist will be Adam Holzman of UT,
Austin, who will perform a concert Wednesday evening and give
a masterclass Thursday afternoon. We look forward to seeing you
in Jackson! -Barry Hause
Guest Artist
Adam Holzman, international performing
and recording artist, is hailed as “...polished
and quite dazzling,” by The New York
Times, “...brilliant!,” by De Gelderlander,
Holland, and “...masterful!,” by The
Toronto Star. Five times he has been
a winner in major international
competitions, including first prize
at the 1983 Guitar Foundation of America
Competition in Quebec, Canada, top prize
at the 9th Concorso Internazionale di Interpretazione di Gargnano,
Italy, and bronze medal at the 3rd Toronto International Guitar
Festival, Toronto, Canada. Mr. Holzman has performed at the
prestigious Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, distinguished New York
venues, as well as in music festivals from Miami to San Francisco,
Boston to New Orleans. His extensive international performances
have taken him throughout Europe, Canada, Mexico, Central and
Latin America.
Adam is founder of the Guitar Department
at the University of Texas at Austin where, in addition to his active
performing career, he heads a thriving guitar studio. His students
have won an array of international prizes. From 1992-1994 Mr.
