About the Baltic Guitar Festival
In 2009, the members of the Baltic Guitar Quartet began organizing the international Baltic Guitar Festival. When performing abroad and participating in various festivals, the quartet often visits performances by other guitar performers who have never performed in the Baltic States. While observing the work of other guitar performers, the musicians had the idea to organize concerts in the Baltic States and present the world's best guitar virtuosos, whose performances would be a source of inspiration for guitarists and classical guitar lovers. In addition, the aim is to ensure that the guitar takes its rightful place on the classical music scene. For several years now, the Classical Guitar Festival has been taking place in the Birštonas Kurhaus, where the classical guitar has been playing since the 19th century.
The following performers have already visited the festival: Los Angeles Guitar Quartet (USA), Bandini Chiacchiaretta Duo (Italy), Roland Dyens (France), Amadeus Duo (Germany and Canada), Luz de Luna (Belgium), Irina Kulikova (Russia / Netherlands), Daniel Marques (Brazil), Thibault Cauvin (France), Dimitris Regginos (Kirpas), Paolo Devecchi and Salvatore Seminara (Italy), Judicaël Perroy (France), Eden Stell Guitar Duo (Great Britain), Aniello Desiderio (Italy), Raphaella Smits (Belgium), Vladislav Bláha (Czech Republic), Pavel Steidl (Czech Republic), Lukasz Kuropaczewski (Poland), Anabel Montesinos (Spain), Costas Cotsiolis (Greece), Laura Young (Canada), Edin Karamazov (Bosnia and Herzegovina) and others.
Events will take place at the Kurhaus, B. Sruogos St. 2, unless otherwise stated in the program.
