What, where, when?

The idea of Twango is to offer classical guitar ensemble playing to under 18s living in Southampton and the surrounding area, thereby offering guitarists a similar avenue for their music making as is available to players of orchestral instruments. Twango is part-funded by the award winning and innovative Southampton Music Service, a department of Learning Services, Southampton City Council.

Twango has a younger sibling, Twangolitos for classical guitarists up to grade 1. We organise regular rehearsals, concerts, trips and other events.

Things to look forward to in 09/10

We have had a number of brilliant concerts and workshops in 08/09, raising several hundred pounds for charities and to support our own activities. We are mpw in the final stages of planning our trip to World Youth Guitar Festival in August 09. Having been to the first one we know how good this is for our young musicians, and how much fun! So we are going back for seconds. We will also continue with our extensive offering of regular meetings, concerts for charity, rundraising events and all day guitar workshops in 09/10.
