Ellnora 2009 ~ Our “sister festival” at the Krannert Center

In September we wrapped ELLNORA | The Guitar Festival, our biennial “sister festival” previously known as Wall to Wall Guitar Festival, held at the University of Illinois’ acclaimed Krannert Center for the Performing Arts. The three-day event included more than 30 world-class artists, including Bill Frisell, The National, the Brazilian Guitar Quartet, Alex De Grassi, Ani Di Franco, Junior Brown, and more, plus the world premiere of “The Long Count,” a multi-disciplinary piece featuring visual artist Matthew Ritchie and members of The National, the Pixies and My Brightest Diamond (which had its NYC debut this past week at the Brooklyn Academy of Music).
