Mission


YOU ARE INVITED to attend the monthly meetings of the AMERICAN GUITAR SOCIETY, held at California State University, Northridge. We are an organization dedicated to the interests of guitarists and those who enjoy guitar music. Since 1923 the Society has presented monthly programs, featuring solo and ensemble performances of music from the Renaissance to the present.
