The inaugural Montreal Guitar Show will be held this July 6-8 in the Hyatt Regency Montreal. The largest guitar show in Canada, presented as part of the MMMIS and the Festival International de Jazz de Montreal, it’s seventh heaven for sixstring enthusiasts, not only hosting 70 exhibitors, but offering up their gorgeous wares for sale.
Better yet, organizers have booked an amazing array of guitar-centric activities to thrill axe fanatics, from the neophyte to the virtuoso. The runaway success of the guitar luthier/craftsman series at last year’s Montreal Musician and Musical Instrument Show clearly demonstrated the need for a separate show dedicated to the instrument.
And, devoted as ever to promoting musicianship to the mass audience, the MMMIS and the Festival decided to combine the two: bringing the artist/artisans to the people who most appreciate them. It all happens in an entirely new, perfectly hospitable venue where crowds can admire, try out and even purchase the most beautiful hand-made instruments crafted by master luthiers. Our instruments carry many passports — Canada, Québec, Argentina, the U.S., Hungary, France, Germany — for what amounts to a global guitar tour!
No true guitar lover can be satisfied just looking or listening… which suits us perfectly well, because the MMMIS has always meant “interaction”! And the Montreal Guitar Show fulfills that mandate with a mostly free slate of activities designed to satisfy every taste, in an environment created to enhance the fan experience. For instance, instruments can be “test-driven” in private studios for optimal playing and listening.
It all happens July 6 to 8, 2007, from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. in the Salon Alfred Rouleau of the Hyatt Regency Montréal — the ultimate treat for the modest daily fee of $10!
