Students are selected through a competitive audition process and have the opportunity to perform as a statewide honors ensemble under the direction of a distinguished guest conductor.
The AVGE provides students with an opportunity to develop their musicianship, collaborate with other dedicated young guitarists, and experience the unique challenges and rewards of performing in a large guitar ensemble. The ensemble performs as part of the Virginia Music Educators Association’s professional development activities and represents the high level of guitar education and performance taking place throughout Virginia.
Eligibility: 9 - 12 grade students enrolled in a guitar class at school and sponsored by a VMEA/VGDA member director.
