We dream of a world where music is here for everyone, connecting us, inspiring us, and bringing joy and meaning wherever it goes. It’s because of our community and supporters that we are able to share stories like this.

Education is at the center of our service here at ACG and we are grateful to continue to grow and share in moments of inspiration with teachers and students everyday.
In 2012, ACG in collaboration with Austin ISD, built the first Large Guitar Ensemble Concert and Sight Reading Contest. Structured after UIL competitions, students and teachers from Middle and High School guitar programs across the state gather at the beautiful Austin ISD Performing Arts Center to perform concerts they have worked hard on throughout the year and test their music sight reading abilities as an ensemble.
Every year we are so amazed by the talent, dedication, and drive that comes into this competition from teachers and students alike. And we are so grateful for the hard work and clear success that comes out of our programs.
We had our Austin Concert and Sight Reading competition just earlier this week! It was so moving to see the transformation of nerves and jitters to cheers and pride after each group successfully moved through each rehearsal space, performance, and judging room.
