Seattle Guitar Circle culminates a weekend intensive retreat with a performance featuring the ensemble and special guests, with ambient support from our friend and collaborator Travis Metcalf.
Seattle Guitar Circle is a multicultural guitar ensemble founded in 1993, representing an international community of music and education founded with Guitar Craft in 1985. Its members and composers hail from many different ensembles, including both the League and Orchestra of Crafty Guitarists, Tiny Orchestral Moments, the Atomic Chamber Ensemble, Electric Gauchos, Los Angeles Electric 8, and Guitar Circle New England, among many others. Featuring music from the world of classical, folk, bluegrass, rock, and the avant-garde, every performance is a unique event for the audience, the musicians, and the music, with a multiplicity of new and timeless moments.
In addition to performances in the Seattle area, its members can also be found hosting monthly open seminars at Phinney Community Center, teaching at residential and online Guitar Circle courses, and actively engaging with the community through education and collaboration.
