Meet Our Guitar Faculty
Zak Trojano
Zak Trojano graduated from Skidmore College in 2002 with a Bachelor's Degree in Music. Since then he has garnered much acclaim as an internationally touring songwriter and performer. Glide Magazine notes, “(Trojano) sings with a compelling timbre that along with his erudite guitar work, makes him one of indie rock’s most unconventional yet talented troubadours.” In addition to his solo work, Zak was a founding member of the popular group Rusty Belle.
Chris Foe
Chris Foe is an emerging composer whose work is performed and recorded widely throughout the New York, Boston, and Western Massachusetts areas.
