| Festival Description | The Wroclaw Guitar Festival deserves to be called the most attractive event in the Polish guitar life and one of the most interesting events in the world. Its uniqueness stems from the fantastic diversity of the styles, repertoire and genres of the presented guitar music - from the classic of the guitar and even lute music, through the fascinating flamenco traditions, to the hot-tempered Latino music and bustling with freedom and energy jazz. Therefore the number of the lovers of the Wrocław event is very large. The concerts are organised in many enchanting locations. The names of some of the musicians that have already played on the Festival: Al di Meola, Chick Corea and John McLaughlin with Five Peace Band, Jesse Cook, Aniello Desiderio, Zoran Dukić, Pavel Steidl, Tomatito and many great Polish guitarists (Marcin Dylla, Łukasz Kuropaczewski, Krzysztof Pełech). This year there will be around 10 concerts between 18th and 27th November, 12 hours of workshops and master classes and 8 hours of methodological lectures. You will hear some concerts of the following international artists: Paco de Lucia & Band (Spain), Carlos Piñana (Spain) with Body & Soul project, Preston Reed (Great Britain), Michael Langer (Austria) and many others. Let’s meet in Wroclaw! |
