Overview

Hi! My name is John Bogan. I have my BM and MM from Manhattan School of Music. I have been awarded several prizes in classical music competitions and worked in many different settings including restaurants, retirement homes, memorial services, private parties, house concerts and more. If you are looking for an evening of elegant classical guitar, look no further! I will be happy to work with you! I'm local to NJ and have transportation and my own amplification. I am down to earth, able to adapt and easy to work with. I will surely make the music portion of your event easy so you do not have to worry and can focus on the event you are hosting. I am very much looking forward to seeing you!

Classical guitar for Manhattan Photography exhibit

John was fabulous to work with. Talented, professional and accommodating. His music created the perfect mood and energy for my Photo exhibit in Manhattan at an exclusive private social club. There were over 100 people in the room and his music was at the perfect volume to allow for easy conversation. I highly recommend John.

What to expect

You can expect an elegant evening of Spanish classical guitar music, paired with some Bach and popular arrangements made by myself. I do not sing. I have amplification. I make things easy for you!
