A special part of this year’s festival was our series of guitar masterclasses, offering participants the opportunity to work closely with experienced and inspiring guest professors from Romania and abroad. Through individual lessons, participants explored different approaches to technique, interpretation, musical expression, and performance, gaining new perspectives and valuable insights into their musical development.

It was a true privilege to welcome such distinguished artists from the international guitar community to our stage and classrooms. We are especially grateful to: Danijel Cerović, Erhan Mujka, Julia Trintschuk, Luis Alejandro García,Nikolay Mihaylov, Pavle Filipović and Samuel Duciuc.
Thank you for being part of our festival and for inspiring the next generation of guitarists.

Here are some moments from the masterclasses.
