JoAnn Falletta International Guitar Concerto Competition

For classical guitarists, the premier concert platform for launching international careers is the JoAnn Falletta International Guitar Concerto Competition.

“In this competition, we celebrate our finalists as superb visiting artists. Buffalo is happy to welcome them, and to enjoy their excellent music-making in the semifinal rounds and in the final concert with the Philharmonic. Their presence enriches our region, and we hope that the competition will ultimately increase the presence of the classical guitar on orchestral stages throughout the world.”
