SACRAMENTO GUITAR SOCIETY

A New Year Brings A New Look !

New Branding Big news! Today, after nearly 16 years (and probably more), we’re releasing an updated brand identity, which includes a new logo, colors, and font. Very soon, you’ll see our new look anywhere we’re out in public, like our website and social media. We believe this new look better matches who we are: an organization dedicated to the Art Of Guitar . We hope you like it (maybe, even LOVE it)! SGS Branded Apparel? Now that we have our new look, we are considering ordering SGS-branded T-shirts, Polo shirts and/or other apparel. Click if you are interested

A Word of "Thanks" We owe this new look (and many other organizational improvements) to... Sacramento Metropolitan Arts Commission City of Sacramento Sacramento County ... for awarding us the Cultural Equity Grant in 2017 . Yes, it took us over a year to accomplish all that we set out to do, but it was worth the time and effort and are now able to handle our growth. Watch the video below to learn about all that we accomplished with this grant.

Enjoy Our Upcoming Concerts

Nothing replicates the experience of seeing and hearing high level performances on unamplified nylon-string guitars. A magical box of wood, six strings and a few metal parts, handcrafted by luthiers and played with just the touch of two hands... the inverse of our noisy world - an oasis of beauty and a chance to visit other cultures from your seat. Perhaps you play, perhaps you don't - either way you''ll be glad you made the effort to go to these three SGS concerts! Ten Reasons to you should play classical guitar.
