Guitar The main goal of the University Guitar Ensem- ble is to provide rehearsal and performance condi- tions for the guitarist which parallel those offered to other instru- mentalists. They play a variety of works especially arranged or composed for them, as well as arrange- ments from other instru- mental ensembles. The ensemble performs widely. Last year at the Crossmont Guitar Festival they were recognized as the outstanding perform- ing group by internation- ally known composer, |ohn Duarte. The ensem- ble also made a full length studio recording. These achievements have led Uni ' s Guitar Department to be one of the top 5 pro- grams in the United States.
