IGF Guitar Summit

Live the ultimate guitar experience!

‘IGF Guitar Summit is back at Kings Place for three days of concerts, workshops, and masterclasses with the world’s greatest guitarists! We welcome the return of the world’s foremost classical guitarist David Russell and the extraordinary gypsy jazz guitarist Stochelo Rosenberg with his quartet featuring star guitarist Paulus Schäfer.

Our BIG SUMMER NIGHT OF THE GUITAR has two parts: we start with a mass performance by the brilliant young players of Haringey Guitars – our outreach partner in North London schools – second up are the amazing roots singer and guitarist Holly Carter and fusion rock guitarist Antra Lante from our La Leona, women and the guitar project.

There are also lunchtime concerts by extraordinarily talented young classical guitarists on our Young Artist Platform.

New music is one of IGF’s key objective and this festival presents world premieres of new commissions by superbly talented young composers Leila Arafah, Ashkan Layegh, Kristina Arakelyan and David John Roche for both classical and electric guitars.

Come and feast your ears on the world’s most popular and versatile instrument the guitar!

And don’t forget to bring your own guitar and take part in our unique workshops and masterclasses featuring David Russell, Stochelo Rosenberg & Paulus Schäfer assisted by Chris Quinn.’
