The
Guitar Foundation of
America (GFA) is
committed to cultivating
Inclusion, Diversity,
Equity and Access in the
international guitar
community and in the
repertoire published for
the instrument. Many
factors, including a
composer's race, gender,
and sexual orientation,
have historically created
a narrow representation
of our community in the
classical music canon.
For this first volume of
the GFA Spotlight Series,
the GFA commissioned
seven new works by
composers of color. The
second volume of this
series will follow with
seven transcriptions of
existing pieces by
composers of color. These
commissioned pieces and
transcriptions were
premiered by students in
the GFA Mentorship
Program in 2021.
With
this collection, the
guitar takes a step
towards a more inclusive
and representative
repertoire that nurtures
creativity and inclusion
for generations of
guitarists to come.
Growing the canon
enriches the musical
experiences of our entire
international guitar
community through
exposure to diverse
perspectives and voices,
complementing the
invaluable lessons we
learn from the existing
contributions of pieces
that form the canon.
Joao Luiz
