Laura Young

Announcing our festival partners!

WGF is very proud to announce that this year’s WGF recital series is promoted in association with our friends from Southampton Classical Guitar Society. SCGS are also generously donating a WGF bursary and membership of SCGS for this year to a worthy recipient ….. THANK YOU SCGS!

SCGS is one of the UK’s most active and indeed, thriving societies devoted to the classical guitar, with an enviable programme of fortnightly meetings, ensemble-extra and a fabulous recital series of their own featuring some of the finest homegrown and international performers. We are hugely grateful for their support of WGF and looking forward to working closely with them on our events.

SCGS members will be able to take advantage of this partnership with discounted ticket prices for all our WGF concerts. (more…)
