LINKS
Other Orchestras
- HAGO - The CGO has a well
established relationship with HAGO (the Hampshire Guitar Orchestra), a
similar ensemble based in Havant, near Portsmouth.
- Hertfordshire Guitar Orchestra
Founded in 1993 it has rapidly developed into a regularly performing
concert orchestra. A musical policy that spans all styles from
classical to rock to jazz to flamenco to world music and a repertoire
that is immediate, often exciting and quite definitely "fun to play and
fun to listen to" results in an immensely entertaining concert
programme.
- Guitar 'Essonne was the host for
our tour to Paris
in 2010 (have a look at the pictures in the "History" section).
- Alegria is based in Wareghem,
Belgium. They
came to visit us, and they put us in touch with Guitar'Essonne.
- And if you are interested in travelling a little
further afield, visit the Hoora Guitar Orchestra, based in
Iran.
