The John E. Marlow Guitar Series is a project of the International Conservatory of Music. ICM is a 501 c 3 non-profit public charity incorporated in the District of Columbia in 1980 and registered in Maryland in 1995, dedicated to enriching the musical life of residents of metropolitan Washington, D.C.
The John E. Marlow Guitar Series began in 1993 with a musical tribute to John Marlow (1939-1992). Musicians who knew John gathered to meet and perform on Sunday, April 18, 1993 at All Souls Episcopal Church in Washington, D.C. in celebration of his life.
John was a composer, performer and educator. A faculty member of the American University, John inspired and assisted generations of guitar lovers with his talent, commitment to excellence and his generous personality. Few are the guitar professionals in Washington whose work was not touched by John.
The International Conservatory and Washington's guitar community chose to commemorate this outstanding human being with an annual living memorial--The John E. Marlow Guitar Series.
