Guitar Ensemble
Dr. Douglas James, Director
The ASU Guitar Ensemble, currently with 35 members, is one of the preeminent groups of its type in the Southeast. In addition to the normal six-string guitar the ensemble regularly uses six-string contrabass guitar and occasionally adds other plucked string instruments such as the alto guitar, mandolin, and banjo. The group functions much like an orchestra, and frequently plays arrangements of symphonic works in addition to pieces written specifically for all-guitar instrumentation.
