Houston Classical Guitar Festival
The Houston Classical Guitar Festival is an internationally recognized festival that is held the 2nd full week of June.
The festival provides learning activities for guitarists of all ages and abilities, including adults who play for their own pleasure.
The 2021 HCGF will be held virtually, and will include live-streamed concerts, an international competition with five divisions, online private lessons, and international workshops in theory, composition, sight-reading and technique.
We will share with you videos of our acclaimed festival faculty, students, competitors and friends of the guitar, in addition to behind-the-scenes footage of the work required to create a classical guitar festival.
