Dear Subscriber,
Our first concert of the 2018-19 season (preseason, really) is coming up in just a few days! Join us for our third annual WCGS Members Showcase on Saturday at 1:00. This year we’ve once again partnered with the Delaware Historical Society to present our Members Showcase at Wilmington’s historic Old Town Hall. It’s really an interesting venue and makes for a beautiful setting.
This year’s concert will feature amateur and professional members of the Wilmington Classical Guitar Society, including Bill Simmons, Scott Kuykendall, WCGS Secretary Ralph Dominica, John Nguyen, Alex Pollock, Kevin Cope, Nikolay Gavlishin, Simon Varley and Brendan Evans.
Stay after the concert to chat with the artists and enjoy a reception featuring MyHouse Cookies.
Hope to see you there!
Best wishes,
Matthew Lavanish
President & Artistic Director – Wilmington Classical Guitar
PS – This is also your first chance to get your hands on our 2018-19 Season rack cards, featuring our outstanding concert lineup this year. Be sure to pick up one for your fridge, and a couple extra for your friend’s fridge!
3rd Annual WCGS Members Showcase
As part of our commitment to bringing music to more of our community as well as expanding local awareness of the classical guitar, we began Members Showcase concerts to bring our music to new audiences in Wilmington. The WCGS Members Showcase features professional and amateur members of the Wilmington Classical Guitar Society, and is our way of introducing ourselves and the classical guitar to more of our Wilmington community.
This year’s Showcase, presented with the the Delaware Historical Society, will be held in Wilmington’s Old Town Hall, a building that dates back to 1798 and is a true piece of Wilmington history. The colonial interior is beautiful and takes you back to those heady times before electricity. What a great place for a classical guitar concert!
Admission is free. Stop in for a song or stay for the whole show. The show will run 1:00 to 2:30. Kids welcome. Refreshments featuring MyHouse Cookies will follow the concert.
Old Town Hall is at 510 N. Market St., Wilmington, DE 19801, and is accessed through the Delaware History Museum, which will be offering free admission for the day! Stop in and see the exhibits before or after the concert. Parking on the street is free on weekends.
