Philadelphia Classical Guitar Society

Make sure to tune in tonight at 7:30pm to see some of our friends from the Wilmington Classical Guitar perform in their online members concert!!

For the past week I have been teaching my private students, students from Rowan Community Music School, my Rowan College at Burlington County classes, and high ...school music classes on online. All of the one on one guitar and ukulele lessons have been through Zoom and everything has been working great! I am very happy I am still able to teach lessons and spread fun through music. If anyone is interested in taking guitar, ukulele, or piano lessons through Zoom for the time being (or if you live far away and want to continue Zoom lessons) please let me know! I would be happy to teach you! Stay healthy!

CANCELLED: ANA VIDOVIC’s CONCERT and FESTIVAL DAY (March 28, 29) Dear PCGS community, We regret to inform you that as result of COVID-19 safeguard measures taken in the past few days by some of our venues (Mandel Theater Drexel University) and out of an abundance of caution to safeguard our PCGS community across all ages, ALL PCGS 2020 FESTIVAL EVENTS ARE CANCELLED. This includes both the Ana Vidovic concert on March 28 and the full day Festival day on Sunday March 29.... We are working with venues to reschedule Ana’s concert and will get back to you very soon with a new date and venue (likely in the Fall 2020) and how we will proceed with pre-purchased tickets for this concert. All the pre-purchased tickets for the Festival Day on Sunday will be reimbursed. These are exceptional times and we all ask for your patience, to be safe, and to look after one another. Kind Regards PCGS Board of Directors
