Julian Bream: "I devoted my life to music for a reason, and the reason wasn't because I wanted to get on or make money, but to try to fulfil myself and also to give people pleasure. That's been my credo."

The Triangle Guitar Society relies heavily on member subscriptions to fund the concerts, newsletters and other activities we all enjoy.  If you are not a member, please consider joining us - it's quite inexpensive.  If you are a member, why not tell your friends, co-workers, even your mailman about what a joy listening to classical guitar is and how, by joining the Triangle Guitar Society, you can spread that joy around.
