The opening concert features the spectacular Lovro Peretić - an award-winning guitarist from Croatia. He began studying guitar at a young age, graduating from the Zagreb Academy of Music and spending one year on an exchange program at the École Supérieure Musique et Danse Hauts-de-France, Lille and specializing in music performance at the Haute école de musique de Genève.
Peretić is regarded as one of the leading guitarists of the younger generation, winning numerous prestigious international guitar prizes including the Guitar Foundation of America (GFA), EuroStrings Guitar Competition and Changsha International Guitar Competition.

A supportive and fun night aimed at giving everyone, no matter their level or ability, somewhere to play.
Four Syrian guitarists and six local Victoria musicians presented an eclectic program at the Victoria Conservatory's Alix Goolden Hall on May 28th, 2023.
​
All the proceeds from the tickets sales have been donated to support the victims of the devastating earthquake in Syria in early 2023.
​
We thank all the musicians and the audience for their support.
