The National Youth Guitar Ensemble offers the highest standard of ensemble training in the U.K for young aspiring guitarists, with the inspired musical leadership of Gerald Garcia and the efficent organisation from Coordinator Liz Larner. 

 

The European Guitar Teachers’ Association founded NYGE in 1999 and over the years has witnessed the many successes of the ensemble. These include a highly acclaimed performance with John Williams in 2002 at the Guildhall (Bath) and the most recent collaborations with the Eden Stell duo, including the release of the Festive Fizz CD featuring NYGE’s recording with the duo and with Cellist Victoria Walker. Stephen Dodgson and Alfonso Montes have dedicated works to NYGE and the ensemble has performed in the presence of Leo Brouwer and Andrew York.
