Come and pick a piece to play with others for the audience!

EnsembleNight

Mark Limber has organized our first ever 2024 Ensemble Night at the BGS. This is your opportunity to play with a group of like-minded classical guitarists in front of like-minded guitar enthusiasts and friends.

We’ve updated our process a little bit, so please take note. Note

Here’s how it’s going to work.

  1. We will provide a handful of duets, trios and quartets;
  2. Browse the selection beforehand (see the Google Drive folder);
  3. Bring your guitar* and a portable music stand (if you have one);
  4. Team up with 1-3 other people (forming duos, trios or quartetos);
  5. We will provide each “band” with sheet music selected from the pieces on the Google Drive;
  6. Huddle with your team for half an hour and learn your pieces;
  7. Perform for the society!

Don’t play guitar but still want to join in? We’ll have a couple selections of guitar + melody instrument (in C) to choose from, so bring that flute, violin, glockenspiel, … this is all about inclusion.

Do you have a piece for guitar ensemble you really want to try? Print it out and bring it! That’s what I’m doing, you might notice I slipped in an original piece for 3 guitars…

Are’t planning to play tonight? You are still welcome to come and cheer on the performers. It should be a fun and educational experience for everyone.

Please note this music is for this performance only. For educational purposes.
