Ciyadh WellsIntrigued by Anna BrakeAbout the Women of Guitar Video Project:

Shortly thereafter I decided that I wanted this project to honor and feature women and nonbinary composers. So far I have learned and recorded 17 pieces.
This project is primarily for already composed works since there are limited funds available to support this project aside from music purchase/score copy acquisition. Of course, please feel free to submit scores...
