About USC Thornton’s Classical Guitar department and GSI

USC Thornton’s Classical Guitar department and their faculty members – Pepe Romero, Scott Tennant, William Kanengiser and Brian Head are GSI’s long-time friends. Even this year, we had a pleasure to record many of their current students in our showroom such as: Ashley Lucero (who is this year’s GSI Foundation scholar), Brendon Grabowski, Edward Frank Martinez, Doris Cosić, Pardy Minassian, Mircea Stefan Gogoncea and Saro Babikian.

It was a pleasure for us to record all these performers during these difficult times, therefore we’d like to invite you to join us in the celebration of the rich legacy of outstanding guitar ensembles at USC with an evening of student and alumni performances.
