Monthly Meetings
About Member Events
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. The open mic provides the opportunity to share music and improve performance skills in a supportive environment. To sign up to play, visit our sign-up page (8 minutes maximum per performer).

This is a registered members-only gathering. We’ll begin with some informal playing, after which the President of the NYC Classical Guitar Society will serve homemade paella. Enjoy an evening at the President’s private resident filled with music, conversation, and summer camaraderie among fellow members of the community.
Several gatherings like this will take place over the summer. Because space is limited, attendance will be reviewed and confirmed in advance so we can distribute participants across the events if necessary.
