Larry Long Award
Lawrence Long, affectionately know by all as Larry, created Knoxville Guitar Society, now know as Knoxville Classical Guitar, in 1971 and has served East Tennessee for decades as a champion of classical guitar, a prolific composer, and a highly successful private teacher of classical and fingerstyle guitar in the region. His legacy continues to grow as his published guitar music is being performed globally and former students enjoy a lifetime of music-making, some going on to earn performance and music education degrees, taking the beauty of classical guitar into many more communities.
Knoxville Classical Guitar is reigniting a fundraiser to establish long-term funding for the Larry Long Award, designed to honor Larry and to recognize emerging and young artists as well as outstanding guitar educators.
Please consider giving an amount that is appropriate for you to show Larry how beloved he is and how much his life's work is appreciated. No amount is too small or too large.
You can use the donate form on this page, or if you prefer, you can send a check directly to Knoxville Classical Guitar at 213 Hotel Road, Knoxville, TN 37918.
Thank you for your generosity!
