Classical Guitar Society Of Michigan

Classical Guitar Society Of Michigan Our mission is to encourage involvement and foster success in music making for all classical guitarists. Consider attending one of our meetings or events!

CGSM encourages a community of people who love listening to Classical Guitar. All are welcome. The CGSM was founded in 1955 by noted guitarist and teacher Joe Fava. The membership comprises both amateur and professional guitarists who are encouraged to perform at meetings. This is a great opportunity to share pieces you enjoy playing, to play ensemble music and socialize with others who share a si

milar love for the guitar and its music. In addition, the society hosts professional concerts, workshops student recitals and member’s concerts!
