Festival 2021

Whilst many feared that classical guitar is turning into a peripheral instrument in the Netherlands, DGF moulded a place for the biggest guitar happening in the country – Guitar Concerto Competition & Festival. The success of the first two editions were unimaginable: nationwide guitar lovers packed the halls of every concert; competitors and students coming from more than 20 countries joined the Festival and most generous host families offered them all a home – it was a remarkable triumph of the guitar community! Of course, during these corona-times our festival can not be organized in the exact same way as before, but instead of seeing this as a blockage, we see it as an opportunity to grow and to be creative with all the possibilities that there are available!

Join us on the 6th of March 2021 for Groningen Guitar Competition & Festival in an unusual online spectacle! This will be the moment DGF becomes a TV-channel with a day full of guitar, concerts, competitions, GuitarEXPO…and all the things you love about guitar!

We need your help to award the Audience Prize during the Groningen Guitar Competition. On 6th of March the Grande Finale will be broadcasted and you can vote for your favorite by writing a comment on our Facebook or Youtube live stream. You can simply write «Audience Award – Participant X» in a comment and your vote will count!

Have a look at the program of the day below!
