Moyer was the only guitarist from Arizona to be selected for the 2019-20 event, which will take place virtually in March after a two-day online rehearsal last week under the guidance of renowned conductors and clinicians. “The audition material was real tough. She just impressed the heck out of me,” said Thomas Byers, NPA’s director of guitar studies. There is no statewide student guitar ensemble in Arizona, so students had to be recommended by their teachers and were required to send in video auditions. NPA had two guitar students qualify for the national ensemble two years ago and one last year.
