MCS Southeast Student Guitar Show Open House

Launched in 1974, the Guitar Repair and Building and Violin Repair and Making programs at Minnesota State College Southeast in Red Wing, are jointly celebrating 50 years of teaching lutherie — the art of string instrument repair — this year.

Special events honoring 50 Years of Lutherie are planned for Thursday and Friday, including an Open House and Reception, Student Guitar Show, and Student Violin Showcase.

All events take place at the Red Wing campus at 308 Pioneer Road and are free and open to the public. 

Campus tours will be available during the Open House on Thursday at 11 am – a chance to see how the lutherie labs have grown and changed over the years.

At the Student Guitar Show and Student Violin Showcase, visitors can see first-hand the impressive work being done by Minnesota State College Southeast’s next generation of string instrument makers.
