Florida Guitar Festival

The Classical Guitar Society at Florida State University (CGS@FSU) is a student organization that is seeking funding for their annual Florida Guitar Festival. The Florida Guitar Festival seeks to build community, professionalism, and to educate those within the guitar world by delivering a highly immersive, competitive, and educational guitar experience. The Florida Guitar Festival will provide masterclasses, a guitar showcase, lectures, concerts, a Festival Guitar Orchestra, and four competitive avenues (recreational, high school, college, and open divisions) to guitar students and professionals of all ages. CGS@FSU asks for your support to help fund this year's Florida Guitar Festival; these funds will be used to help pay for the socio-economic disadvantaged students from Freedom High School to attend and perform at the Festival, pay our exceptional guest artists, and cover our operating costs. We have many different giving levels so everyone can get a benefit of some kind!
