Settlement Music School 416 Queen St. – Philadelphia, PA 19147
12:30-1:30 PM ET
Join us for a free in-person Guitar Salon on Concert Sundays before the concerts starting at 12:30 p.m. at the Settlement Music School. George Attisano, a professional member of the Philadelphia Classical Guitar Society and board member, 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 email the title and composer of your selection to George at georgeattisano@gmail.com 24 hours before the salons are scheduled. Or you can simply announce your piece at the Salon.
IMPORTANT: The concert on October 22, 2023 will NOT be at the same location of the Salon. Check the October 22, 2023 concert schedule and location.
