Announcing

In collaboration with Flagstaff Cultural Partners, Grand Canyon Guitar Society proudly presents the 2012-2013 concert season to the Flagstaff Community. This season’s roster includes some of the finest classical guitarists in the world, with three GRAMMY winners visiting Flagstaff in performance and instruction. The public is invited to join us in celebration of fine guitar artistry in Northern Arizona! Concerts are held in the intimate indoor amphitheater at the Coconino Center for the Arts (CCA). (Definitely the best theater you can find for this type of concert!)
