The Kansas City Guitar Society presents Mac Childs as part of its regular Casual Concert Series on Sunday, December 14, at 2 p.m. at the Central Library, 14 W. 10th St.

A Kansas City native, Mac Childs is a dynamic and talented musician whose style varies richly in passions, influences, and approach. A graduate of the University of Missouri and the Conservatory of Music, he holds degrees in classical guitar performance as well as Spanish. Studies abroad in Madrid and Granada have lent strong Andalucian sentiments to his musical performances.

Established in 1986, the Kansas City Guitar Society was created to foster appreciation and encourage artistry of the guitar in the greater Kansas City area. The society is under the direction of Douglas Niedt, a five-time performer in Carnegie Hall and associate professor at the Conservatory of Music at UMKC, his alma mater.
