Welcome

The Classic Guitar Society of Western Australia is a voluntary, non-profit making organisation incorporated in 1960 aiming to promote playing and appreciation of the classic guitar and to foster camaraderie amongst its members.

The objectives of the Society are to:

encourage the playing and appreciation of the classical guitar amongst the broader musical and general community;
promote performance by guitarists through varied means;
facilitate the development of student guitarists;
foster camaraderie amongst teachers, students and those interested in the objectives of the Society;
provide members with free access to Society functions and discounted entry to Society concerts at the discretion of the Committee;
keep members informed in matters relevant to these objectives;
co-operate with those elsewhere who share similar objectives; and
encourage local guitar makers and development of the guitar repertoire.
