Mount Best Maestro:
Dr. Tom Chalko 20 Years of Enchanting Guitar Concerts

Local Engineer Brings Harmony and Love to Our Community:

Mount Best has been home to Dr. Tom since 2001, and he has brought a touch of magic to our area through his incredible talent and passion for classical guitar. Dr. Chalko is an engineer with a Ph.D. in laser holography, but his love for classical guitar shines bright. He is a gifted performer, composer and arranger.

Every year for two decades, except during the pandemic, Dr. Tom performed classical guitar concerts at the Mount Best Community Hall for free. His concerts are a true celebration of music's ability to transcend boundaries and connect people.

What makes Dr. Tom's concerts so special is the diversity of his programs. He doesn't limit himself to playing classical guitar solo. He expands his repertoire and enhances the audience's enjoyment by playing with his own cyber-orchestra.

Dr. Tom's concerts are not just events; they are experiences that connect us through the universal language of music.

The last time Tom went FANDANGO .... In his next concert Tom presents "Sounds of the centuries". He begins in the 13th century, ~500 years before Bach, and plays some of the greatest hits in the history of music....
