HCM CITY The Saigon International Guitar Festival 2024 will take place from August 28 to September 1, 2024, at the HCM City Conservatory of Music.
Since 2014, the Saigon International Guitar Festival has become an annual gathering for classical guitar enthusiasts.
This event offers Vietnamese guitarists, particularly the younger ones, a chance to engage with, learn from, and draw inspiration from world-renowned artists.
The organising committee stated that, as per tradition, individuals and groups registering their works for the festival must ensure they are either composed for or adapted for classical guitar, including unpublished pieces.
To foster musical talent and fulfill musical passions, the committee has organised the competition into categories for both professional and amateur participants, including two age groups – under 18 and under 13 – each with a notable prize structure.
The 2023 International Guitar Festival held in November drew a large crowd of music lovers and classical guitar enthusiasts.
The event marked the introduction of a new competition category for non-professional musicians under 13, offering young amateur guitarists an opportunity to display their enthusiasm for classical guitar in HCM City. VNS
