Competitions, Festivals and Summer Programs
A listing of festivals and competitions around the world.
Network of European festivals.
Deadlines and repertoire requirements. Good directory. Guitar Events is an independently curated directory of the classical-guitar world's competitions, festivals and summer courses. Every listing comes from the organizer's official site and refreshes automatically, so deadlines, prize money, entry fees, age limits, and repertoire requirements appear in one consistent format instead of across twenty different organizer websites.
Promotes festivals, concert series, workshops, outreach, summer schools and community outreach. Also focuses on creating new music, advancing the opportunities available for new players, and developing audiences for guitar music throughout the UK, especially in the North East.
Young-artist programs
The Classical Guitar Corner Summer School is an annual in-person event catering to the adult amateur that brings together the Classical Guitar Corner Community for a week of concerts, ensemble playing, lessons, workshops, performances, and socializing.
The forum runs its own online competition.
