Eliot Fisk
“It was a pleasure to perform on the series of Portland Classic Guitar.  I particularly enjoyed the warm family feel and enormous warmth of the audience.  The work that William Jenks and his colleagues are doing is truly important for our country.  I wish my friends in Portland many more years of great success.” 

David Russell
“This last year I had the pleasure of playing a concert and conducting a masterclass for “Portland Classic Guitar”. The organization was wonderful and I loved meeting the members, who worked hard to make the event a success. I am sure that with their enthusiasm and generous dedication the future of the guitar in Portland is in good hands.”

Scott Tennant
"I had a great time performing for Portland Classic Guitar. It's the kind of venue I love to play because it makes me feel like the audience and performer are really communicating with one another, and I like listening to music in such an environment for the same reason! I feel that both the player and listener walk away having experienced a connection."

Ana Vidovic
"I had the privilege to perform twice at the "Portland Classic Guitar Concert Series" and had a wonderful time! Mr. Jenks has done such an amazing job with the venue that has been featuring great guitarists from all over the world. The venue is quickly becoming one of the most prestigious in the country. I was especially impressed with the warmth and the intimacy of the venue. The audience is very appreciative of the music and very warm and responsive. Please come to the "Portland Classic Guitar Concert Series"! You will have a wonderful time and will certainly be back!"

Dennis Azabagic
“William, your guitar series is one of the most memorable for me. I remember playing solo at your series, and I had a great time, so I was sure the same would be the case when I came back with my duo. The intimate space creates an atmosphere and connection to the audience that is really very special.”
