Member Events are open to the public and free for NYCCGS members and first-time guests.
Member Events take place on the first Thursday of every month, except where noted. The meetings feature special presentations by a wide variety of guitarists, composers, musicologists, and luthiers, followed by open-mic playing time for members.
