********SPECIAL EVENT***********
CROWN OF THE CONTINENT GUITAR WORKSHOP AND FESTIVAL
BIGFORK. FLATHEAD VALLEY. MONTANA
MISSION STATEMENT
With deep roots at the headwaters of America in the shadow of Montana’s Glacier National Park, the not-for-profit Crown of the Continent Guitar Foundation celebrates the universal appeal and diversity of the guitar by combining music, mountains and the magic of Northwest Montana. We bring together the world’s best guitar artists, teachers and mentors, inspired students and enthusiastic audiences in an unmatched, once a year joyous celebration of performance, camaraderie, study and collaboration; delivering a profoundly unforgettable experience wrapped in lasting friendship, warm hospitality and community spirit.
ABOUT US
The Crown of the Continent Guitar Foundation is a non-profit organization, established in 2009. Our mission is celebrating the artistry of the guitar and the magical splendor of Montana, which is inspired by the unique ecosystem and natural beauty of the Crown of the Continent region. Our goal is to become an internationally recognized center for the guitar for study, performance, and composition.
The Foundation holds an annual week-long guitar festival at The Flathead Lake Lodge in Bigfork. This includes: performances by leading national/international guitarists of all genres, lectures, master classes, private lessons and jam sessions for both the serious and casual student; performances of world class music; and an opportunity for artistic and personal interaction between individuals with a passion for the guitar. During the year the Foundation also sponsors additional programs and events in the Flathead Valley both individually and in collaboration with the North Valley Music School and other partner organizations.
The Foundation’s charitable mission includes: providing scholarships to the week-long workshop and other activities to area guitar students and teachers, offering free community clinics throughout the greater Flathead Valley and providing guitars and amplifiers to needy area students. The Foundation’s activities also support other nonprofit organizations which share our interest in preserving what is special about Northwest Montana including: The Glacier Park Fund, The Montana Land Reliance, Montana Public Broadcasting, Ravenwood Outdoor Learning Center and North Valley Music School.

CROWN OF THE CONTINENT GUITAR WORKSHOP AND FESTIVAL
BIGFORK. FLATHEAD VALLEY. MONTANA
MISSION STATEMENT
With deep roots at the headwaters of America in the shadow of Montana’s Glacier National Park, the not-for-profit Crown of the Continent Guitar Foundation celebrates the universal appeal and diversity of the guitar by combining music, mountains and the magic of Northwest Montana. We bring together the world’s best guitar artists, teachers and mentors, inspired students and enthusiastic audiences in an unmatched, once a year joyous celebration of performance, camaraderie, study and collaboration; delivering a profoundly unforgettable experience wrapped in lasting friendship, warm hospitality and community spirit.
ABOUT US
The Crown of the Continent Guitar Foundation is a non-profit organization, established in 2009. Our mission is celebrating the artistry of the guitar and the magical splendor of Montana, which is inspired by the unique ecosystem and natural beauty of the Crown of the Continent region. Our goal is to become an internationally recognized center for the guitar for study, performance, and composition.
The Foundation holds an annual week-long guitar festival at The Flathead Lake Lodge in Bigfork. This includes: performances by leading national/international guitarists of all genres, lectures, master classes, private lessons and jam sessions for both the serious and casual student; performances of world class music; and an opportunity for artistic and personal interaction between individuals with a passion for the guitar. During the year the Foundation also sponsors additional programs and events in the Flathead Valley both individually and in collaboration with the North Valley Music School and other partner organizations.
The Foundation’s charitable mission includes: providing scholarships to the week-long workshop and other activities to area guitar students and teachers, offering free community clinics throughout the greater Flathead Valley and providing guitars and amplifiers to needy area students. The Foundation’s activities also support other nonprofit organizations which share our interest in preserving what is special about Northwest Montana including: The Glacier Park Fund, The Montana Land Reliance, Montana Public Broadcasting, Ravenwood Outdoor Learning Center and North Valley Music School.
