Boston Guitar Orchestra to Perform at Hingham Public Library

The and the Boston Classical Guitar Society will present The Boston Guitar Orchestra  in a free performance on Saturday, May 5 at 3:30 pm in the Library’s Dolphin Gallery.

According to Hingham Public Library Director Dennis Corcoran, “this is sure to be one of the highlights of the Library’s successful Saturday Sounds Special season.”

The BGO is a community based amateur ensemble that is committed to the promotion of the arts in the New England area through the performance and creation of works for guitar ensemble.

In only its second season, its current 17 member roster makes the BGO one of the largest orchestras of its kind world-wide. Its members range in all levels, styles, and ages. The orchestra setup includes sections divided up into 4 to 8 parts with multiple players on each part, and the diverse mosaic of dynamic, color, timbre, and other various percussive effects that can be created can rival most symphony orchestras.

Formed in 2009 by Scott Borg for the Boston Classical Guitar Society's "Festival 21", the Boston Guitar Orchestra garnered praise from the Boston guitar community and is now a center piece of the Boston Classical Guitar Society’s performance season.
