A celebration of the classical guitar, the event has many strands including a concert series featuring:

Otto Tolonen – Ian Watt - José Antonio Escobar and students from ALL UK conservatoires alongside

A course run by RCS faculty and special guests. The teaching team includes all of the above plus

Allan Neave  & Matt McAllister.  A new feature is ‘Guitar Talk’ where artists present their respective research

& experience plus we have a schools guitar ensemble competition to finish the festival.

BGW is supported by the D’Addario Foundation, RCS & Guitar Guitar.
