About The BKCGS

Our mission is to nourish and build the classical guitar community in Brooklyn and the greater NYC area through open mics, concerts with locally and internationally known guitarists, masterclasses and workshops, and social events.

The BKCGS is an LLC with fiscal sponsorship from the Groupmuse Foundation. Groupmuse Foundation is a parallel nonprofit to Groupmuse, that supports initiatives that support musicians directly. Through this partnership, The BKCGS functions as a non-profit organization. All donations are tax deductible to the full extent allowed by law.

Offerings

We currently offer social events and monthly open mics that are open to classical guitarists of all levels. Concerts with Brooklyn-based musicians are being planned through the year!

Future offerings will include workshops, masterclasses, online programs, mentorships (established Brooklyn/NYC artists helping up and comers from Brooklyn), and ensembles.
