Competition

In 2023 the Groningen Guitar Competition will again focus on solo guitar performance. The guitar is a unique instrument with endless possibilities for solo repertoire. We believe that each guitarist has something unique to express and communicate with her or his audience. By choosing, mastering and performing your repertoire you define yourself as an artist. Which pieces do you want to express? We’re looking forward to hearing your story and special artistry!

The Groningen Guitar Competition is open to all candidates, regardless of their nationality, age and background. Take a look at the exact competition program and rules below and let us know if you have any questions!
