In our quest for great music for the wedding, we stumbled upon one of the best kept secrets in town: gi-tahr, Pepperdine’s guitar concert series. On the second Tuesday of every month during the school year, the incredibly talented students from the Classical Guitar Program at Pepperdine, who are under the tutelage of Christopher Parkening, perform a free concert at Raitt Recital Hall. It is definitely worth the trip to Malibu.

For more information, including student bios, samples, and a performance schedule, please visit www.gi-tahr.com.
