The story

Uppsala International Guitar Festival in Uppsala

Uppsala International Guitar Festival brings classical, jazz, flamenco, and contemporary guitar into contrasting rooms across the city, with masterclasses exposing the fingering, tone, and ensemble decisions behind each performance. Players and listeners exchange repertoire across traditions rather than keeping styles siloed, giving the festival a genuinely cross-genre character.

Uppsala International Guitar Festival refuses to treat the guitar as a single tradition, programming classical, jazz, flamenco, and contemporary playing across the same week rather than specializing in one style.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The festival's strength is refusing to treat guitar as one single tradition

02

The mystery stays covered

Classical, jazz, flamenco, and contemporary playing all appear across the programme, each heard in a room chosen to suit its particular sound, and masterclasses expose fingering, tone, and ensemble decisions that a straight concert performance would leave hidden

03

The city starts moving

Because players and listeners exchange repertoire across traditions rather than staying within one genre's audience, the festival builds real cross-pollination between guitar communities that might otherwise never share a stage
