The Chicago Community Classical Guitar Ensemble rehearses weekly at VanderCook College of Music, 3140 South Federal Street, Chicago Il 60616, and presents concerts throughout the greater Chicago Area. Fall/Winter rehearsals begin each September and culminate with multiple performances in early December. Winter/Spring rehearsals begin each January and culminate with multiple performances in late April.

​

     Although no formal audition is required, prospective members must play a nylon string classical guitar, use established classical guitar technique, and be able to read music easily through the fifth position. Guitarists interested in joining the group should attend a few rehearsals at the beginning of the semester and see if CCGE is right for them. There is a wide range of difficulty among the guitar parts performed within the orchestra. You will be matched with a part that meets your skill level and that is both challenging and rewarding to play.

​

    A nominal membership fee is charged for each semester. Free parking is available directly in front of the VanderCook building.
