College of Charleston Music Department

Classical Guitar

Marc Regnier, Program Director

The College of Charleston offers a unique variety of opportunities for classical guitar students. Since the addition of the program in 1994, students have been able to hear and work with some of the world's greatest performers and scholars today including Christopher Parkening, Eduardo Fernandez, Manuel Barrueco, Paulo Bellinati, Lorenzo Micheli, Denis Azabagic, John Duarte, Aaron Shearer and Adam Del Monte.

In 1999, the College of Charleston hosted the Guitar Foundation of America Convention and International Competition. The following year the International Guitar Series was founded which gives our students exposure to some of the leading performers.

Students have a variety of performing opportunities including recitals with the Piccolo Spoleto Festival. Because of our unique environment and instruction, many of our students have won prizes in major international and national competitions and have been accepted to leading graduate programs.
