The story

Festival Internacional de Guitarra Entrecuerdas in Santiago

Entrecuerdas has run since 2000 under director Alberto Cumplido, gathering Chilean and international guitarists for a program spanning classical, contemporary and fusion styles. Concentrated mainly around Centro Cultural Las Condes in Santiago but extending to other cities, the October-November festival is regarded as one of South America's more significant events dedicated entirely to guitar.

Entrecuerdas has spent a quarter century building itself around a single instrument, launching in 2000 under director Alberto Cumplido with the straightforward goal of showcasing the level Chilean and visiting guitarists had reached, a level organizers felt was underrepresented on the country's broader classical and popular music circuit.
