Were excited to announce that the 2025 festival will be held in
Seattle, April 4-6, with the generous support of the Seattle Classic
Guitar Society and the University of Washington. The festival will
include the Adult and Youth competitions, masterclasses, workshops and
the Festival Ensemble, and will highlight solo concerts by Simon
Farintosh of the University of Victoria (winner of the 2018 NWGF
competition), Alan Liu (winner of the 2015 NWGF competition), a
concert of guitar and flute by Eli Schille-Hudson and Mehrdad Gholami
of Western Washington University. Friday and Saturday Festival events
will take place at the West Seattle Church of the Nazarene, Sunday
events will be at the UW School of Music, and the Saturday night
concert will coincide with the SCGS presentation of the inimitable Los
Angeles Guitar Quartet at Benaroya Hall in downtown Seattle. Looking
forward to seeing you all there!
