CGSV Guitar Orchestra (GO)

Formed in 2009 through the Classical Guitar Society of Victoria, the CGSV Guitar Orchestra was originally a forum for classical guitarists from all backgrounds to enhance their ensemble skills and gain further performance experience.

Under the direction of Benjamin Dix, of the Melbourne Guitar Quartet, the GO has now fast established itself as Victoria’s leading amateur guitar orchestra, having performed at the Melbourne Guitar Maker’s Festival, Melbourne International Guitar Festival, the Melbourne Recital Centre, and with artists such as Z.O.O Guitar Duo (http://www.zooguitarduo.com/ ) and MGQ (Melbourne Guitar Quartet - https://www.mgq.com.au/ ).

Through a blend of contemporary works, unique arrangements of time-honoured favourites and modern Australian compositions, the GO strives to showcase the voice of the guitar in a way that has never been heard before.

The Victorian Guitar Orchestra welcomes new members. They perform at least four concerts a year around the Melbourne area, and the rehearsal schedule usually falls on selected Sundays in the afternoon.

There are some membership requirements, including a playing level of at least Grade Four in the AMEB series or equivalent.
