Groningen Guitar Festival & Competition 2023

Whilst many feared that the classical guitar was turning into a peripheral instrument in the Netherlands, the Dutch Guitar Foundation created a place for the biggest guitar happening in the country – the Groningen Guitar Festival & Competition. Over the last years, a new guitar tradition has been created. Many students, competitors and renowned artists from all over the world have joined one or more editions of the Groningen Guitar Festival & Competition.

From the 28^th of February until the 5^th of March 2023, Groningen will be the centre of the guitar world once more. During the next Groningen Guitar Festival & Competition, guitarists, luthiers and guitar lovers will gather to join Masterclasses, Concerts, the Competition, the GuitarEXPO and other guitar events. All of this will take place in the well-known friendly atmosphere of Groningen where the highest guitar quality and the deepest guitar love meet!
