Enjoy a performance by the students of the Cleveland Classical Guitar Society. Register to receive a Zoom link.
Cleveland Classical Guitar Society (CCGS) is a nonprofit organization founded on the belief that music can create positive social change. Established in 2002, the organization has grown to encompass three main programs: the International Series (a concert series featuring the finest guitarists from around the world), the Education Program (providing free instruments and instruction to students in the City of Cleveland), and Community Events (hosting gatherings for guitarists of all ages and skill levels, including open recitals, masterclasses, and technique sessions). Through these programs, CCGS is able to fulfill its mission to Teach, Inspire, Connect.
When schools moved to remote learning, CCGS Education created the Guitar@Home Academy to connect with students in virtual private lessons. This program was offered at no cost to Cleveland public school students in grades 5 through 12. Weekly lessons with CCGS educators were tailored to match the level and interest of each student. This student showcase features CCGS students performing pieces they learned as part of their private lessons.
