On Saturday, November 10th at 2 PM, The Boston Guitar Orchestra (BGO) will perform in the Keys Community Room of the Milton Public Library. 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 while building an inclusive community of participants and audiences.

Its members range in all levels, styles, and ages. The orchestra set-up 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 BGO garnered praise from the Boston Guitar Community and is now a centerpiece of the Boston Classical Guitar Society. It is a unique opportunity for amateur guitar enthusiasts to become active partipants in guitar-related activities rather than just spectators. It inspires and motivates its members and their families to become further involved in cultural events, while continuing to refine their own personal art form in an enjoyable yet challenging setting.

This concert is sponsored by The Friends of the Milton Public Library, and light refreshments will be served. The event is free and open to the public, and the library is located at 476 Canton Avenue, Milton. For more information, contact Jean Hlady, Adult Services Librarian, at (617) 698-5757.
