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.

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.
