Founded in 1967 as not-for-profit 501c3, The Philadelphia Classical Guitar Society has been a community of members of all ages and accomplishments dedicated to supporting and encouraging classical guitar activities throughout the Delaware Valley.
The society present monthly concerts, typically on the 2nd Sunday of the month with renewed and emerging classical guitar performers from October to May every year. From September to May we also conduct Guitar Salons and Classical Guitar Orchestra rehearsals open to PCGS members of all levels and members of other regional classical guitar communities an opportunity to perform in front of each other individually or as ensembles and network.
Our annual programming culminates with the PCGS annual Classical Guitar Festival, usually over a weekend in April, full of activities including PCGS national competition semifinals and finals (high school and adult divisions), masterclass, 100s of student recitals, big concert from a world renewed artist, workshop, etc.
