Community Guitar Ensemble
The Chicago Community Classical Guitar Ensemble was formed in 1997 by Ensemble Director and VCM faculty, Dr. Julie Goldberg. The ensemble consists of guitarists from all walks of life. Most have professions outside of music; some are full-time students; and a few are professional musicians and teachers. All share a love for the instrument and enjoy the challenges and rewards of working together in an ensemble.
If you or someone you know is interested in joining The Chicago Community Classical Guitar Ensemble, please call (312) 225-6288 or e-mail Dr. Julie Goldberg directly at jgoldberg@vandercook.edu.
