For the second time, the program for young guitarists Frantz Casséus welcomes the Cuban guitarist Joe Ott, as part of an exchange with the office of the great Cuban master Léo Brouwer (guitarist and Cuban composer, internationally renowned), in order to strengthen the capacities of teachers of program for young guitarists Frantz Casséus. These in turn have the responsibility of teaching classical guitar at the forty young beneficiaries of the program implemented in collaboration with the Holy Trinity Music School.

Recommended by Léo Brouwer, Joe Ott had conducted a first workshop (12 to 19 October) with two teachers of the program for young guitarists Frantz Casséus (Emmanuel Valcin and Souvenance Merzier), to which were attached two of the most advanced students (Michel Andeles et Roudolph Similien). They had worked together basic guitar techniques (arpeggios, chords, coordination bonds) and various classical pieces, popular and their own composition. They will continue this joint work from 2 to 9 November.

A third meeting is planned by the end of this year.
