Michael Fogler: Reviews
“Michael is one of the best in the business. He is an excellent performer; a committed, popular, successful teacher; a supportive, engaging colleague; and an experienced university faculty member. He has so much to give his students, his audiences, and his community — and the great thing is that he is so willing to do so. For years, he was the driving force behind the Lexington Guitar Society which brought major guitarists to UK's stages. He has done innumerable outreach programs and helped students to bridge the gap between studio training and public performance. Also, his concerts with different groups have raised the awareness of audiences about the beauty of the instrument and its many possibilities.”
Clare Callahan, Professor of Guitar, University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music

“The Lexington Guitar Trio is astonishing. Their recording has all the things I want; interesting repertoire, great musicianship, flawless performances, wit, verve, and pluck. They make three guitars sound at once like one instrument and a full orchestra. They play with technical mastery and musical sensitivity, and their recording has been a source of great musical enjoyment for me and anyone with whom I have shared it.”
Bryan Johanson, Professor of Guitar and Composition at Portland State University
“My students were thoroughly impressed and were engaged in learning by Michael Fogler’s visit to my classroom. They heard a most talented guitar player, but were also encouraged to continue their study of music for a lifetime. We should [more often] have professional musicians like Michael share the passion of music with our students.”
Donna Bonner, music teacher, Paul Lawrence Dunbar High School, Lexington KY
