WGF10
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…)
Credit crunch guitar festival
With all the talk of economic downturn and the upcoming election it might be hard for some of you guitarists to feel as enthusiastic or as flush as you’d normally would. Well don’t worry! WGF10 has the feel-good-factor and a price-tag to match! (more…)
Welcome
Welcome to the WGF10 homepage! This year’s Festival will be the fifth Winchester Guitar Festival and will run from Friday 23 July through to Sunday 25 July 2010. Our regulars might well notice a couple of changes from the format of our previous festivals. Firstly, we have moved venues for the WGF course and will be situated right in the heart of the City at Holy Trinity Church Hall, Upper Brook Street.
The other change is that this year we will be returning to the beautiful Milner Hall for our evening concerts. The acoustics here are particularly special and suit the intimate sound of the guitar perfectly.
Over the next few days and weeks the WGF team will be putting the finer details together and updating them on the website. This includes the exciting announcement of the WGF10 guest artists and tutors!
