=====TIME CHANGED TO 7:30.=====
Due to some miscommunication with local media outlets, there has been some confusion whether the concert starts at 6:30 or 7:30. After discussing the situation with Thibaut, the decision was made that the safer solution would be to adjust the start time to 7:30 and do our best to get the word out on social media channels. This way, people who show up early can be notified of the change and asked to return, which is preferable to people showing up late and realizing that they missed the performance completely. We sincerely apologize for any confusion or inconvenience. We hope to see you there at 7:30!

Stands, music, microphones, tuners, recording gear, under-appreciated guitars - anything you think that someone else might find useful! Stop by and search for some inspiration for your next project!  

We've just learned of a fantastic upcoming concert on Thursday, July 21st featuring 3 exceptional young guitarists!  With several competition accolades to their collective credit, they've already achieved great things.  Please come see them if you have the opportunity.







MCGS is very fortunate to be able to host Juanito Pascual and the New Flamenco Trio at the beutiful Atrium Auditorium at the First Unitarian society. This is an amazing and dynamic group of performers in the middle of a national tour and definitely a concert not to be missed! Please like and watch this space for updates.

Steve Puntillo will be hosting the next installment of our popular "Casual Club" meetings at Paragon Video and Stereo (1905 Monroe St, Madison, WI 53711) on Monday, February 1st at 7:30. Please mark your calendar, and I hope to see some of you there!

Casual Club events are a series of privately hosted (non-public) meet-ups. We'd like to offer MCGS members who are a little nervous or don't feel that they're quite ready for the public performance spotlight a chance to work through some pieces (or parts of pieces) and to get advice, support, and inspiration from the group. All skill levels welcome and encouraged to share! The point is that we'd like these to be about our members making music and talking shop in a welcoming environment.
