Dress is Filmmaker Casual.
 

 

Ezra Golden will provide musical entertainment during tonight’s Reception for Filmmakers and Friends. Based in Raleigh, his journey with the guitar began at the age of 10 under the guidance of his grandfather, Lyman Golden, who taught classical guitar at multiple universities in the Southeast. Ezra continued his formal training under the mentorship of Michael Conners at Penn-Griffin School for the Arts in High Point and has played with maestros such as Xavier Jara and Jason Vieaux. In his spare time, Ezra enjoys running, playing basketball, and riding bike trails.
