Our Programs

St. Louis Classical Guitar (SLCG), previously known as the St. Louis Classical Guitar Society, is a non-profit arts agency whose mission is to promote positive impact through classical guitar performance and education. Founded in 1963 by students of George C. Krick, SLCG is the third oldest organization in the nation centered around classical guitar. Now in 2024, SLCG seeks to serve the St. Louis community through innovative, high-quality, and relevant programming.

Concert Series

Our Guitar Masters Concert Series brings the greatest guitarists in the world to St. Louis for intimate concerts at Salem United Methodist and the 560 Music Center. Over the years we have hosted artists such as Manuel Barrueco, David Russell, and Julian Bream – and each concert ends with an opportunity to meet the artists.

Inside Classical Guitar

Inside Classical Guitar is SLCG’s weekly Radio Show. Hosted by W Mark Akin and airing on Radio Arts Foundation (107.3 FM) Monday’s at 7pm, the show takes listeners on a journey through the beauty of classical guitar.

Guitar Horizons

At the heart of SLCG’s community impact is our Guitar Horizons Education Program. Focused mainly in North County and St. Louis City, Guitar Horizons provides the resources necessary for building and sustaining a thriving guitar program in local schools.

Open to Members interested in performing in a large ensemble, our 25 person Guitar Orchestra rehearses twice monthly and performs several times a year for community events.
