The New York City Classical Guitar Society ("NYCCGS") Announces Its Spring Concert Series

NEW YORK, March 21 /PRNewswire/ -- The New York City Classical Guitar Society ("NYCCGS") is proud to announce its Spring Concert Series. The series will include 4 outstanding events, featuring the varied and beautiful music of the classical guitar. The Society is a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting the classical guitar. The organization provides a forum for the listening and performing of classical guitar music through each member's right and responsibility to both teach and learn.

NYCCGS was started to fill a gap between the abundance of quality classical guitar resources on the Internet and the conspicuous lack of a social forum for classical guitar in New York City and its surrounding area. The Society seeks to complete the social interaction of classical guitar enthusiasts by providing an "in-person" group learning experience.

Friday March 25th 8:00 p.m.
