Whats the Story?
Austin Classical Guitar’s season theme GIVE is built around the idea that every person has unique gifts that they can offer their community, and that the act of giving is cause for celebration.
Inspired by this theme, The Austin Classical Guitar Youth Orchestra (ACGYO) is hitting the road with performances in Fredericksburg, Alpine, Marfa, and San Antonio to raise money for local organizations who are doing good things in their community.
