Master Class & Live Performance with Master Luthier Steve Kauffman

Join the Guitar Museum of New England, in collaboration with the Concord Conservatory of Music, for a special evening celebrating the artistry and craftsmanship of the guitar.

This inaugural Master Class launches a new series exploring the instrument’s design, history, and cultural significance. Master luthier Steve Kauffman—traveling from Oregon as part of the celebrations of his 50th anniversary year as a guitar builder—will share insights into the elements that shape a guitar’s voice, from tonewoods to construction techniques to stunning inlay and marquetry.

The evening concludes with a live performance featuring Kauffman-built instruments from the Museum’s core collection, offering a rare opportunity to hear their depth, nuance, and expressive range.

Ideal for musicians, collectors, luthiers, and anyone with an appreciation for fine craftsmanship and live music.
