The Friends of the Mendocino College Music Program (FMCMP), the newest affiliate of the Mendocino College Foundation, is excited to announce a concert with internationally acclaimed guitarist Alex de Grassi and friends. The concert, which will benefit the Mendocino College Music Program, is scheduled for Saturday, April 27 at 7pm in the Little Theater on the Ukiah campus of Mendocino College, 1000 Hensley Creek Road, Ukiah. Tickets are available online at https://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/6270196 and at the Mendocino Book Company in Ukiah and Mazahar in Willits.
In 2021 Alex de Grassi took on the position of guitar instructor at the Mendocino College Ukiah campus. He has since developed the guitar program from a single “all-comers” course into to two classes: the first geared primarily towards beginning students who are learning to play chords and simple arrangements, and the other course designed for intermediate and more advanced players with an emphasis on honing technical and performance skills. For this concert, Alex will be joined by music faculty member and Ukiah Symphony director Maestro Phillip Lenberg (also a fine guitarist), some TBA special guests, as well as some of the guitar program students to present a mix of solo, duo, and ensemble performances.
