EFGA is a multi-faceted nonprofit music education and music festival organization at the forefront of the global classical guitar scene. With primary locations in the greater Boston area and satellites abroad, our domestic and international programs are directed by Maestra Zaira Meneses and delivered by professional teachers trained by world-renowned, legendary guitar virtuoso, Maestro Eliot Fisk. We rely on generous donor support to bring our programs to the community.


Classical guitar training is at the heart of EFGA. Founded in 2021, our mission is to enhance the lives of classical guitar students of all ages and backgrounds through the hands-on exploration and development of their musical interests and talents. EFGA seeks to more fully integrate the beauty and discipline of the art of classical music into daily life through our pre-professional performance training programs, our major international summer music festivals, and our music competitions. Our immersive programs serve to discover and nurture young talent in a welcoming environment as well as springboard aspiring professional performers into their careers.
