RIO CLARO GUITAR SEMINAR
WELTON NADAI
Artistic Direction
Promoted by the Lumiarte Institute, the Seminar has established itself as an essential event in the musical scene of the interior of São Paulo state, having been held annually since 2011 in Rio Claro/SP. With each edition, the Seminar consolidates itself as a unique opportunity to appreciate the diverse directions that the guitar has taken, bringing together renowned masters and young talents of the instrument.
Although the main focus of the Seminar is the world of the guitar, it provides spaces for the appreciation of musicians of all instruments. This is due to the event's ability to attract the most prominent figures in contemporary guitar, personalities who perform on the most sought-after stages around the world. Participating in this event means having the chance to learn and understand more about good music, getting to know the work of these remarkable performers up close.
In addition to renowned Masterclasses with virtuosos of the instrument and captivating musical performances, our event schedule extends to unique and meaningful activities. These include recitals at blood donation centers, educational concerts in public schools, and innovative accessibility projects.
Of particular note is the accessible concert for the visually impaired, in which students have the unique opportunity to enter a theater and experience listening to a performance blindfolded. This not only promotes an empathetic understanding of the experiences of people with disabilities, but also provides a singular aesthetic experience.
Reiterating our commitment to the dissemination and promotion of all artistic expressions, our patrons, sponsors, and supporters play a crucial role. By making this commitment, they create opportunities for the continuous improvement of our actions and activities, thus strengthening our mission to enrich the community through art.
