Eric Dickerson holds a Master’s Degree in Music Performance from San Diego State University. With over 20 years of musical experience, Eric has committed himself to preserving the art of Historical Performance Practice, performing Early Music on historical lutes, guitars and mandolin.
Eric began studying the Classical guitar with Fred Benedetti, in 2010. In 2015, he completed his Bachelor’s Degree on 11-string alto-guitar, under the guidance of Andreas Koch of Germany. After completing his graduate studies in 2020, Eric began private lessons on the Baroque lute with Vinicius Perez and Baroque mandolino with Davide Rebuffa, further developing his historical performance and interpretation skills.
In 2021, Eric was awarded the Robert Crim Scholarship from the Lute Society of America, for excellence on the Baroque lute. In 2022, he received a full endorsement from the San Diego Early Music Society, providing educational outreach on historical instruments.
Free concerts at noon every Monday from fall through spring . . . no wonder the Mini-Concerts are the longest-running and one of the most popular classical music series at the library!

There are no reservations, no tickets . . . just line up at the side door of the Athenaeum before noon. (Donations are always welcome!) Mini-Concerts take place every Monday at noon and last about an hour.
