The concert is free to attend and can be viewed any time after the concert goes live at midnight. Donations are welcome.

Are you interested in workshops to help you improve your guitar playing? The SGS Board of Directors is considering starting a guitar certification program but we want to know who in our community would be interested in signing up for this program. Nothing is set in stone yet, but here is what we are proposing:

This is program designed to cultivate and promote classical guitar education. Students and performers of all ages and levels of ability can participate. Participants will be evaluated on a set of graded requirements, ranging in progressive levels. Participants can also choose to audition for jury comments only, i.e. not to audition for a specific certificate level. Upon successful completion, students will receive written feedback from professional educators, as well as a certificate and pin for their participation.
