A Note from CGSUNY
President Paul Sweeny

The Classical Guitar Society of Upstate New York was founded in the year 2000. It has seen many changes, but remains true to its original goal of promoting the classical guitar and its music. In a collaboration between Dennis Turechek and his student Gail Hamilton, was born this labor of love—especially since Gail was willing and able to do most of the hard work. The CGSUNY grew and became stronger because of countless members and volunteers in the Upstate region helping with fund raising concerts, outreach to schools, play-arounds at various venues, soirees, guitar ensemble performances, and, of course, the celebrated Fall Festival. Every year these altruistic members pitched in and built a bottom up organization that has become what we are today. As our current president, we continue our efforts to grow and prosper. I invite all to join us in helping to make our future more certain. I am proud to follow in the footsteps of all who came before and the officers and members of the board of directors devote our energies to furthering these goals and serving those who share them.
