CGSV Guitar Gatherings

June 2026 Guitar Gathering

Looking for a friendly and supportive place to perform, share music, and connect with fellow guitarists?

CGSV's Monthly Guitar Gatherings are informal "Open Mic" events that welcome guitarists of all ages, backgrounds, and skill levels. Whether you're preparing for an exam, working towards a recital, performing for the first time, or simply keen to share a favourite piece, our gatherings offer an encouraging environment and an appreciative audience of fellow guitar enthusiasts.

These events are about more than just performing. They are a wonderful opportunity to meet like-minded musicians, discover new repertoire, exchange ideas, and become part of Victoria's classical guitar community. Even if you're not planning to perform, you're warmly invited to come along, listen, and enjoy the music—there may even be an opportunity to try another member's guitar and experience different instruments firsthand.

Why Attend?

  • Perform in a relaxed and supportive setting.

  • Gain valuable experience in front of an audience.

  • Prepare for exams, recitals, and upcoming performances.

  • Meet fellow guitarists and build connections within the community.

  • Enjoy an afternoon of great guitar music.

Guitar Gatherings are a CGSV members' event, however non-members are very welcome to attend and perform for a $10 guest fee.

Interested in becoming part of the CGSV community? You can join as a member at the gathering and enjoy access to future events and activities.

We look forward to welcoming you to our next Guitar Gathering!
