The society was formed in 1981 to promote ensemble classical guitar playing. The original members were part of an evening class run by the London Borough of Enfield. The guitar orchestra is a member of the Enfield Arts Network and meets bi-monthly at Millfield House Arts Centre in North London. We give a few concerts each year, from a repertoire which ranges from Bach to light classical and jazz influenced contemporary pieces. The society has premiered many new pieces written especially for the ensemble by our resident amateur composer. In addition to ensemble playing, the society arranges occasional guest recitals and workshops. Amongst the artists to appear are The Pro-Arte Trio, The New Pro Arte Trio, Dimitris Dimakopoulos, Jonathan Richards, Petros Andreou, Shuko Shibata, The Lorca Guitar Duo and Andrew York. Workshops have ranged from Guitar construction to chord construction. Friendly and expert ensemble tuition is available. New members of all standards are very welcome.
