The purpose of the article is to highlight the peculiarities of the formation of the guitar
orchestra, outlining the leading groups existing in contemporary performing artistic world and
domestic practice and identifying possible trends in the future existence of this performing
composition. The methodology involves the use of historical, systemic and analytical approaches
that will contribute to the formation of the idea of the regularity of the formation of the guitar
orchestra. The scientific novelty is that an attempt is made to examine the main stages of the
formation of the guitar orchestra as a performing group, to highlight the key aspects of the
implementation of such a composition in the domestic and foreign musical culture. Conclusions.
The guitar orchestra is an executive composition whose formation took place over a long period.
The key aspects that influenced its creation were the structural and functional improvement of the
instrument, which contributed to the emergence of technical and expressive capabilities and
techniques of the game. In the XVIII century, there is the formation of the "Neapolitan Orchestra,"
which becomes a prototype for those guitar orchestras that exist in modern space. In the XX
century, there is a proliferation of this type of performing group, which can have different
performance levels - from amateur, student to professional. There are still a small number of guitar
orchestras in Ukraine, which can become a promising direction for the development of the national
musical space.
Key words: guitar, guitar orchestra, performance, stringed -plucked instruments.
