London Guitar Festival

LISTEN PLAY CREATE LONDON

Welcome to London Guitar Festival 2023.

The 20th edition of IGF’s London Guitar Festival brings you a wonderful series of concerts by major international artists and young artists making their debuts, new commissions, and plenty of workshops and masterclasses.

The guitar is unique in its appeal to people of all ages, musical tastes, and economic means; immerse yourself in that most colourful and versatile of instruments, the guitar!

This year’s breath-taking line-up includes Flamenco sensation Dani de Morón appearing with the amazing Flamenco dancer Patricia Guerrero and percussionist Agustín Diassera; and the extraordinary Sean Shibe plays a varied programme with a world premiere of a new IGF commission for electric guitar by young composer Sasha Scott. ‘British Jazz Musician of the year’ guitarist Rob Luft’s duo with wonderful singer Elina Duni completes our headline programme.

Young artists are as always at the heart of IGF’s work and we especially welcome performances from the exceptional young artists on our Young Artist Platform.

Finally, don’t forget to bring your guitar and take part yourself in our workshops and masterclasses with Sean Shibe, Dani de Morón and much more!
