As a rising junior at Wake Forest University I attended an inspiring talk called Art, Money, and Community Service by ACG Executive Director Dr. Matthew Hinsley. Ecstatic about each story I heard, I became an ACG intern in hopes of playing a part in building community with music.

Micaela Creo

As part of WFU Music’s inaugural speaker series, The Future of Music Leadership, Micaela Creo attended a lecture from Dr. Matthew Hinsley, founder of Austin Classical Guitar (ACG), a national leader in music education and outreach.

Inspired by this lecture and her work as a student in Dr. Marco Sartor’s Class Guitar, Micaela completed an internship with Austin Classical Guitar in summer 2024.

As part of her internship she would interview and tell the stories of three ACG students and their “life-changing” trip to Spain with ACG.

Congratulations, Micaela!
