    The St. Louis Classical Guitar Society has been a long-time advocate and supporter of the St. Louis Public School District. Many funding sources are sought to support its Public School Guitar Initiative, which enhances existing programs and/or encourages the development of guitar programs.  The Public School Guitar Initiative was introduced in 2010 at Central Visual and Performing Arts, which received 20 guitars and accessories.  In 2011 Gateway IT High School received 30 guitars and accessories, and in 2012 Lyon@Blow Academy received 40 guitars and accessories.  The Society also offers the Student Matinee Performance Series, featuring Friday daytime performances with world-renowned musicians.

     

    The St. Louis Classical Guitar Society, established in 1963, is the nation’s third oldest guitar society.  It believes music can build skills, instill confidence, and promote creativity and social cooperation, and works to promote an appreciation for music of the classical guitar within the St. Louis community.
