Tomorrow marks the start of the highly anticipated 4th EuroStrings Guitar Competition. Fifteen EuroStrings Artists that are laureates of the EuroStrings partner festivals will be competing both in-person and online from Wednesday until Saturday. They represent some of the best young classical guitarists from all over Europe at this moment so we are excited to see (and hear) them compete for a valuable first prize. The first round will be held tomorrow for the guitarists who will compete live. The second part of the same round will be held on Thursday for the EuroStrings Artists who were not able to travel to Spain. After this round, eight guitarists will proceed to the semi-final round that is scheduled for Friday, July 23rd.
