Guitober at the MFA
Sunday, October 19th, 2008
Darcy Kuronen, curator of the instrument collection at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, gave an incredible presentation of their guitars to Brookline Music School students and faculty. It was truly an educational and exciting showcase of the musuem’s impressive guitar collection. Not only was Darcy well informed and a gracious host, but he let us hold and play some of the intstruments.
Thanks Darcy for Guimazing tour!!
