The Southeast Missouri State guitar ensemble allows students to improve their classical guitar skills while collaborating with various groups of all sizes. Guitar Majors at Southeast also have the opportunity to play electric guitar or bass in the music departments jazz bands and combo groups.
The Southeast Guitar Ensemble is open to all Southeast students by audition and performs each semester, offering programs of transcriptions and original compositions for multiple classical guitars. The guitar majors in this ensemble learn and perform standard chamber music repertoire for classical guitar in a variety of configurations.
Our guitar ensemble graduates have had professional success and many have pursued advanced degrees at prestigious institutions like Peabody Conservatory, Northwestern University, and the California Institute of the Arts.
