Workestra

The Workestra is the Performance Team at Guitar Work. It operates in different countries
and configurations. The requirement to participate is to honour: ‘The Six Principles of a
Performance Event’ (The Guitar Circle).

1. The Principle of Common Presence
When people get together with music, something happens.
2. The Principle of Mutual Adjustment
In a performance, things come together, mysteriously; and go better than we might
anticipate; and better than we deserve.
3. The Principle of Organization & Disorganization
A performance can take on a life & character of its own.
4. The Principle of Multiple Existence
Anyone performance is a multiplicity of performances.
5. The Principle of Connectedness & Independence
The possible is possible.
6. The Principle of Normality
The impossible is possible.
The Seventh Principle resides within Silence.

The Workestra offers performances with a wide variety of styles and technical
complexities: original pieces, adapted versions for guitar ensembles, classical music and
experimentation through a repertoire composed exclusively for the ‘Guitar Craft Tuning’ in
front of an audience which is invited to participate actively in the performance process.
