The most important classical guitar competition in the world has just begun, the International Concert Artist Competition organized by the Guitar Foundation of America, and it is possible to watch it on facebook – also live.
This event happens each year in a different city, and in 2019 is taking place in Miami. It has its prestige because of the awarded prize (a tour with dozens of concerts in several countries is just one of them), the level and the diversity of the participants.
