Testimonials and Acknowledgements

​

"I want to thank you for your great work on the grant proposals. I have learned, personally, that you have a flare for developing those proposals and I also think that your PhD experience has prepared you well for the work (Proposal writing can be exhaustive…just like getting a doctorate). But also, you have your own drive, artistic innovation, attention to detail and professionalism. It’s really great that you chose to support ******! We are so lucky. Thank you." –Non-Profit Board Member

​

"My editor, Candice Mowbray, has been a steady, guiding force throughout this project. Whenever clarity and exactitude proved to be wishful figments of my imagination, she would inevitably and deftly snap my gaze back into the focus. This book would be something different, something less, without her formidable contribution. I can't thank her enough." –Michael DeLalla, Musician, Composer and Author

​

"Rojas’ interest in the music of these figures was sparked by author and lecturer Candice Mowbray, who chronicles the lives and achievements of historic female guitarists...[Rojas] thought it important to choose [Sergio] Assad, one of the foremost composers of contemporary guitar music, to write an homage to Anido. 'This will put her name out there and people will want to know who she was,' Rojas notes...Assad asked Rojas and Mowbray to provide information about Anido’s trajectory and touring. 'Candice sent him a timeline of María Luisa’s travels,' Rojas recalls, 'and he started thinking about the rhythms identified with those places...'"
