The Orange County Guitar Orchestra was founded in 2012 by former members of the renowned Fullerton Guitar Orchestra, who wanted to continue their guitar orchestra experience at a fully professional level. Under the direction of David Grimes, the Orchestra has already developed a reputation of unique and colorful repertoire.

The mission of the Orange County Guitar Orchestra is to establish a new national standard for the professional-level performing guitar orchestra, and to inspire and perform new repertoire of guitar orchestra music. We hope to hold multiple concerts throughout the community to create an appreciation for and expand the audience base of classical guitar music.
