Guitar Salons

Salons offer PCGS members a chance to play in an informal, casual venue for a welcoming audience. Salons are open to all members including those performing solo guitar for the first time, performing with a friend, preparing for a big show, or simply attending to listen.

Settlement Music School 416 Queen St. – Philadelphia, PA 19147

Join us for a free in-person Guitar Salon on Concert Sundays before the concerts starting at 1:30 p.m. at the Settlement Music School. Alejo de Los Reyes or Chris Hanlon, PCGS board members, will coordinate the salons. The Salon will be followed by our regular programmed concerts 3 p.m. (ticket required for the concert ).

The Salons are an opportunity for guitarists to gather informally to perform for each other and share their thoughts on the music on which they are working. As we resume in-person gatherings, Salons provide a congenial setting in which guitarists at all levels can play their pieces before an audience of fellow guitar enthusiasts. Listeners are also welcome!

Please limit your performance to 10 minutes so that others may have an opportunity to share their music with the group. If you intend on playing, please fill out the form below no later than 24 hours before the salons are scheduled. Or you can simply announce your piece at the Salon.

Any questions about Guitar Salons may be directed to Alejo at alejo_guitarra@yahoo.com.ar or Chris at chrishanlon1776@gmail.com.
