HISTORY -- The Classical Guitar Society
of Northern Colorado has been in existence since December 1995. It has always
been a group of classical guitar lovers from the Northern Colorado
Front Range communities of Berthoud, Estes Park, Fort Collins,
Greeley, Longmont, Loveland, Wellington, Windsor, and places between
and beyond. From 1996 to 2000, the Society sponsored
concerts by artists of renown whom we might not otherwise have
seen in Colorado. The concerts included such prominent
guitarists as GFA winners Antigoni Goni, Fabio Zanon, Denis
Azabagic, Jason Vieaux, Judicaël Perroy, Lorenzo Micheli, Martha
Masters, and Johan Fostier (our Society was on the concert
circuit for GFA winners), as well as Chris Hanford, Ernesto
Tamayo, Miguel Espinosa, Lily Afshar, and "The Three
Guitarists" (Jim Bosse, Janet Feder, Steve Waechter). By
presenting these performers, the Society helped promote an
appreciation of classical guitar music in Northern Colorado.
Unfortunately, the funding required has made it unfeasible to
continue to sponsor these concerts, but they remain a proud part
of our history.
In the spring of 2009 the
organization was disbanded, but in the fall of 2009 some
previous members along with several new participants reorganized
the CGSNC in its current form. We are confident that the group
will continue to grow, prosper, and support more guitar events
in our region. |
