Elina Chekan (Lecturer, Classical Guitar; Director, Suzuki Guitar) recently traveled to El Salvador where she met the Vice President Félix Ulloa and performed at the National Theatre.
Chekan’s visit received media coverage as she performed at the grave site of Paraguayan guitarist and composer Agustín Pío Barrios Ferreira, known worldwide as Nitsuga Mangoré. She was joined by his grandson Héctor Leguizamón who had never visited the site of his late grandfather.
Elsewhere on her trip, Chekan conducted a masterclass at Universidad Dr. José Matías Delgado and visited a local museum, where she saw Ferreira’s last guitar.
