*The New England Guitar Society, a committee of the Milford Arts Council, was established to create a nurturing environment for classical guitarists to meet, share ideas, perform, compose, teach, and grow as musicians and enthusiasts. The Society invites guest artists to perform public concerts and hold master classes at the acoustically rich chamber concert hall of the Milford Arts Council.
