"I have long dreamt of a short but concentrated summer guitar workshop at New England Conservatory. This dream has now found expression in Boston GuitarFest 2006, an international gathering that will not only highlight some of the exceptional talent in the Boston area but also attract aficionados and professionals from around the world. I invite all music lovers, guitar lovers and indeed anyone else seeking a unique cultural experience worthy of the global village in which we all inhabit to join us in Boston this June. See you there!"

Eliot Fisk Artristic Director

"I was very pleased to learn of the plans for Boston GuitarFest 2006. It will, of course, be an extraordinarily rewarding musical experience, first and foremost. It will also serve to introduce some new people to New England Conservatory of Music, which is such an important part of our cultural environment in Greater Boston, and will give our region a chance to note that Coretta Scott King, a Conservatory alumna, shared Boston educational roots with her husband. I was particularly happy to learn that GuitarFest 2006 will be the fist in a series of annual guitar events which will continue in the years ahead both to showcase the cultural advantages of our city, and specifically provide people with the opportunity to hear wonderful music, played at its best."

Barney Frank Massachusetts Representative

"I am thrilled that New England Conservatory and Artistic Director Eliot Fisk will be hosting Boston GuitarFest 2006. This series of performances and workshops will highlight both the exceptional musical talent we have right here in Boston as well as host musicians from all over the world. Boston GuitarFest is a perfect example of music’s ability to traverse geographic, cultural and ethnic boundaries, and as a confirmed amateur guitarist I know it will also be a lot of fun. I encourage musicians and everyone who appreciates their work to become involved in this important cultural celebration, and I thank NEC and Eliot for making Boston GuitarFest 2006 a reality."
