In July 2007 The Arts Circus will launch the 'World Youth Guitar Festival' for classical guitarists aged 8 to 18. We believe this innovative event is the only such residential festival worldwide catering solely for this age group. We aim to be truly international,bringing together and engaging young classical guitarists from all over the world giving them a chance to perform in ensembles, hear professional concerts, take part in workshops, classes, and most importantly foster relationships with one another.
