The Luxembourg Guitar Festival (LGF) is the first festival dedicated to the classical guitar in Luxembourg. It features concerts, masterclasses and lectures of world top class guitarists, exhibitions of guitar makers and music scores as well as a national competition for young guitar students from Luxembourg alongside an international guitar competition in a no age limit category.
​
LGF’s goal is to promote excellence of guitar playing in Luxembourg. The guitar is one of the most popular instruments taught and played in music schools and conservatories all over the world. However, despite its high popularity, concerts for this instrument remain quite rare in Luxembourg. Therefore, there is both a great need and potential for this festival that will not only contribute to the development of a dynamic guitar scene in Luxembourg, but also entail real long term pedagogical benefits.
