Elizabeth Busch

• James Tatti - violin
• Cathie Apple - flute

Classical guitarist trained at USC under William Kanengiser of the L.A. Guitar Quartet. Also studied in masterclasses with Pepe Romero, Christopher Parkening, and Ricardo Iznaola. I have been playing classical guitar since 1987, and performing professionally since 1999. I am dedicated to providing professionalism, gracious service, and top quality musicianship. Past performances include solo appearances with the Chester Philharmonic (Chester, England) and the Lakewood Symphony (Lakewood, CO), as well as solo and duo concerts in Los Angeles, Glendale, Denver, Colorado Springs, and areas surrounding Chester, England. Additionally, I perform regularly for weddings, receptions, rehearsal dinners, tea parties, corporate events, birthday parties, and other special events.

I believe that your event is as special as you do, so I will personally work with you to make sure that the music for your event turns out as beautifully as you had hoped! I can provide solo classical guitar music or the combination of a guitar/flute or guitar/violin duo. From amplification to song selection, I will help you create an event that is beautiful, memorable, and enjoyable.

• Ms. Busch played her guitar beautifully and provided a fully professional demeanor. Her relatiave youth was no impediment to a flowing, articulate, technically outstanding series of performances. When asked to play background, she did so unobtrusively. When asked for a "mini concert," where my guests' focus was on her alone, she shone brightly with a well-rehearsed, beautiful quartet of pieces showcasing truly pro-level talent and easy aplomb. You should hire her. -- Steve S, Van Nuys, CA, 9/6/2008
• Elizabeth was wonderful. She arrived on time and brought her battery powered amp so that we wouldn't need to worry about providing power (our wedding was outside). She performed flawlessly and had a great repertoire of spanish/latin classical guitar music. -- Kevin M, Pacific Palisades, CA, 6/21/2008
• Elizabeth was an amazing part of our wedding! First and foremost, she was exceedingly flexible, accommodating, and helpful while planning the event and deciding on songs. She easy to communicate with and always maintained a professional manner. As the ultimate bonus, she is unbelievably talented! She learned two songs just for us, and the entire performance was flawless. I couldn't keep track of how many comments I received specifically about how perfect and beautiful the music was. Truly, she should be charging more for her services. I recommend Elizabeth Busch for any event, but especially for weddings. She helped make our wonderful:o) -- Sarah M, Lake Forest, CA, 10/6/2007
• Elizabeth was extremely professional in handling all the arrangements for the music. I had over 75 guests for my Home Christmas Party and all were extremely pleased with the talents she offered. We would hire again. -- Carole S, Oxnard, CA, 12/16/2006
