The International Series has already established itself as one of the finest series in the country, presenting a roster of internationally renowned artists. The annual Showcase Concert features some of the finest local performers in Northeast Ohio in a free concert. CCGS provides outreach where it is needed most through the CCGS Education Program. CCGS is dedicated to providing life-changing opportunities for students in Cleveland, affording them an outlet to express themselves, think creatively, and realize their potential in music, school, and beyond. CCGS students perform more than 60 times a year for over 4,000 people, ranging from informal performances at school to concert performances at Cleveland’s most prestigious venues and events (such as Severance Hall, Cleveland Museum of Art, Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, and Cleveland Institute of Music). Guitarists of all ages and abilities are encouraged through events such as Open Recitals, which provide an outlet to perform in front of a supportive community. In addition, Masterclasses with visiting guest artists and other events are occasionally held to provide educational opportunities for budding guitarists. Guitar Orchestras of varying levels are available for community players of all ages and abilities. A virtual CD Listening Club provides a casual learning opportunity for guitarists and non-guitarists alike.
