Sarajevo International Guitar Festival has a continuous tradition of nourishing art music in Bosnia and Herzegovina. It was established in 2011, by the Association of Guitarists in the FBiH, with the desire to advance the art of guitar playing in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Since that time, Festival has offered over 45 concerts by respectable names in the area of guitar-playing art, while the educational component comprised participation of lecturers and pedagogues from over twenty countries in Europe and the world, whose workshops have been attended by over 700 young guitarists, teachers and professors.

Our Goal

The main goals of Festival include strengthening of national and international cooperation among artists, pedagogues, instrument builders, all of whom allow students, by forging mutual ties, to elevate their own knowledge to a higher level and spread their positive artistic experiences and impressions of BiH across the world. Consequently, the initial Festival structure is based on four fundamental elements: concerts, international guitar-playing contest in five categories, master classes.
