Myrna Sislen

Myrna Sislen attended American University where she was a classical guitar performance major. Her concert career began at AU and spanned the next 30 years. With debut recitals at the Kennedy Center, sponsored by the Washington Performing Arts Society, and in New York City at the Carnegie Recital Hall, her concert career took Myrna to all the countries of Europe, Scandinavia, Central America, and Brazil and Ecuador in South America.

Myrna Sislen is currently working with the Mount Vernon Triangle community to donate the art work that will be the anchor of Cobb Park, a reclaimed public space park located at 2nd and Mass. NW. Just last week, Myrna Sislen stepped in with a donation to save the Beatty Guitar Competition, Washington's only youth guitar competition, which will now be the MGI Myrna Sislen Guitar Competition.
