| Masayuki Kato, 2004 |
Masayuki Kato, member of the Board of Directors
of the Hermann Hauser Guitar Foundation, took part in the International
Guitar Festival in Bangkok, which took place for the fourth time,
at the end of October. He was head of the jury in the categories “Junior
Competition“ (up to 16 year of age), and „Senior Competition“
(17 or more year of age). He gave master classes for guitarists from
Thailand, USA and Japan. His concerts with a 1959 Hauser guitar and
Mrs. Yukiyo Hakata, piano, inspired the audience. There were guitar
makers from Germany and Japan amongst the visitors of the festival.
The Hauser guitar was admired by all who were interested and it was
agreed upon that it was the first
Hauser guitar in Bangkok.
