The Happy Valley Guitar Orchestra (HVGO) is a true avant-garde orchestra comprised of more than 20 talented, enthusiastic, local, acoustic and electric guitarists from widely varied traditions. HVGO creates new and beautiful music that could only come from such an eclectic melange, providing an opportunity for musicians to work together who might otherwise never collaborate, and for audience to enjoy both significant contemporary and legacy composers whose works Blanchette has arranged to exploit the unique tonal characteristics and strengths of the ensemble.

Supported by grants from the Northampton Arts Council and the D'Addario Foundation.
