The Virtual Guitar Orchestra started as a response to COVID, allowing guitarists from all around the world to "play together" during the pandemic. It continues as a testament to the power of music. One of our students, Jamee, and our guitar instructor, Mr. Dennis, participated in the VGO for the piece "Pulsar" by Vincent Lindsey-Clark.
