We welcome all guitarists to the 2nd European Bach Guitar Award, which is open to all students and guitarists until 35 years. The ‘European Bach Guitar Award’ takes place every three years, alternating with the competition “Deutscher Gitarrenpreis“ (German Guitar Prize). At this point we would like to thank all our sponsors who make the organisation of the European Bach Guitar Award possible. We look forward to meet you in October 2025 at the semifinals and finals of the competition.
