    Sponsored by the School of Music and the ECU Summer Guitar Festival, the series begins Monday with a free concert by guest artist Rene Izquierdo. Classical Guitar magazine commended the artist's "unforgettable versatility, sensitivity and sublime musicianship."

    On Oct. 5, Dr. Cain Budds, associate professor of guitar and music theory at Louisiana State University, will perform.
