Dear Subscriber,
We hope you’ve had a wonderful summer! Wilmington Classical Guitar is rested up and raring to go, and our 2019-20 season will begin with our Fourth Annual Wilmington Classical Guitar Society Members Showcase Concert. The WCGS Members Showcase features professional and amateur members of the Wilmington Classical Guitar Society, and it’s our way of introducing ourselves and the classical guitar to more of our Wilmington community.
This year’s Showcase, presented with the Delaware Art Museum, will be held in the Art Museum’s East Court located in the Museum on historic Kentmere Parkway. The Museum is a fantastic place for a classical guitar concert, and on Sunday, September 15th you’ll enjoy Free admission to both the concert and the Art Museum! As part of the distinguished artist series you can also combine your interest in art and music and experience the art exhibition “Mitch Lyons: The Hand Translated” currently on display, and take time to view the rest of the Museum’s fantastic collection.
Admission is free. Stop in for a song or stay for the whole show. The concert will run from 1:00 to 3:00. Kids are absolutely welcome.
This year’s concert will feature Bill Simmons, John Nguyen, Graham Williamson, Simon Varley, Dulcet Guitar Duo (Alex Pollock & Caroline Kubach), Brian Bard, Alan Ens & Matthew Lavanish, Kevin Cope, Joe & Kathleen Mayes, and Brendan Evans.

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.
The Delaware Art Museum is at 2301 Kentmere Pkwy, Wilmington, DE 19806. The East Court is just inside the Museum to the left, outside the Museum Gift Shop. The Museum will be offering free admission all day, so stop in and see the exhibits before or after the concert. Parking in the lot or street is free all day.
