We are thrilled to announce that ticket packages for the 2026-27 season, Friendship, are now available!

Our 6-concert Live at The Rosette series opens with Ana Vidovic in September and continues with a star-studded cast of some of our dearest friends including Jorge Caballero, Xuefei Yang, and David Russell.

Our ACG Originals series of four concerts includes a new original score for the 1926 silent film The Adventures of Prince Achmed by husband and wife duo, Amanda and Celil Refik Kaya, a beautiful film score collaboration with Austin Chamber Music Center, a deep musical celebration of friendship with our very own Matt Hinsley, and an incredible performance of Joe Williams’ monumental original score for Alfred Hitchcock’s The Lodger (1927) featuring Bion Tsang and the Great Necks Guitar Trio.

The Rosette is an intimate venue, and most of our major events sell out in advance. Our ticket packages are a great way to make sure you have the seats you want, all season long.

Tickets for individual concerts and live-stream events will go on sale June 6.

We’d love to share a story where two worlds of ACG Education came together in a beautiful way:

Since 2012, ACG has offered Texas’ only Guitar Ensemble Concert and Sight Reading Contest. Structured after similar events for band and orchestra that promote teaching community and quality, over a thousand students and teachers gather and perform concerts they have worked hard on throughout the year and test their sight reading abilities. We now offer this event in six locations across the state to serve our many partner programs.

Since about the same time, we have also been privileged to create and sustain Texas’ first and only daily, for-credit performing arts course for young people incarcerated in the Juvenile Justice system. We currently provide daily instruction in Travis, Williamson, and Dallas Counties. However, in all of Texas history, students in detention have never had the opportunity to participate in events like Concert & Sight Reading Contest.

Until now.

“All three of my groups received the highest rating,” gushed Dr. Noe Garcia, our teacher in Dallas County, whose students were able to participate by audio recording submission. “I was very excited for them, as many of my students shared that they have never previously received trophies or medals. It is especially meaningful to be able to provide this experience for them…”

We are down to our final few open spots for ACG's annual Youth Summer Camp. Join us this summer for a week of music-making! Held at the beautiful Rosette Theater, the camp brings together young guitarists from across Austin to learn from world-class performers and instructors in a supportive, collaborative environment.

Campers will explore ensemble playing, technique, songwriting, and improvisation, all while building friendships and creating lasting musical memories.
