About Siempre La Guitarra

Siempre La Guitarra is a new classical music concert series presented by David Tutmark and Oregon Guitar Studio. David was inspired by his love of the guitar and classical music to create the Siempre La Guitarra concert series here in the Pacific Northwest. Our mission is to bring great guitar players from all over the world into our local guitar community, as well as create performance opportunities for guitarists from the region.

Siempre La Guitarra also aims to provide educational opportunities with the featured artists. We will focus on providing the best possible experience for visiting artists as well as the audience. With these values in mind, we hope to continue building the Portland area as a viable destination for concert guitarists and contribute to the guitar community here in the Northwest.
