EuroStrings

We are honoured to announce that we have become a member of EuroStrings – European Guitar Festival Collaborative, a first European platform in classical guitar, founded by Zagreb Guitar Festival.

The Platform is co-funded by the Creative Europe Programme of the European Union for the period 2017-2021.

  

EuroStrings will focus on highlighting the emerging guitar players, creates a series of international opportunities for them, educational and training programs that foster the professional development of guitarists, and trends for sustainability of festivals in the field of classical music. The platform brings together guitarists and their audiences, breaking down barriers and actively involving both in the creation of classical guitar experience.

Through Young Stars exchange programme, EuroStrings will strongly support the circulation of emerging talents among the platform's guitar festivals, offering the winners of those festivals’ international competitions an opportunity to reach international audiences and  giving them opportunities to work transnationally and access new markets.
