This is the second year the Classical Guitar Society (WP/Sel) Malaysia organized this wonderful event for the classical guitar teachers in Malaysia, so that they can have some activity for their students. Our objective is to provide a platform for ensemble performance and encouraging  the guitar students in Malaysia to experience the joys of playing together whilst making new friends. A very healthy pursuit for the younger group of participants - rather than being at the computer the whole day or to mix with bad company. We approached the guitar teachers who are not part of the Society to take part in this event but, unfortunately, the teachers we approached did not show any interest, so, we had very poor response. Only six teachers were interested to participate in this years event. Why were the other teachers not interested - we really do wonder...!? Anyway, the Committee made do and made this concert happen with special appearances from Mr. Leong Yee Hoo and Mr. Ng Kean Heng.
