The 2021 WA Classical Guitar (Ensemble & Solo) Festival

Presented by

The Classical Guitar Society of Western Australia, Inc. (www.guitarwa.com.au); and
Instrumental Music School Services, WA Department of Education (www.det.wa.edu.au)

This festival is an annual event in Western Australia that is potentially the largest of its kind in the Southern hemisphere. Returning to a live event in 2021, the inclusion of soloist categories is an exciting addition (first introduced virtually in 2020). The festival provides a unique opportunity for guitarists to perform in a formal yet supportive environment, fostering camaraderie, pedagogical exchange, and cultural enrichment.

Every ensemble and soloist will receive: (1) a written report; and (2) a commemorative certificate. Ensembles also receive a digital copy of a professionally-produced audio recording of their performance.

Guitar Ensembles

• Fee of $90 per ensemble;
• Five categories: primary, junior secondary, senior secondary, community, and tertiary;
• Two local adjudicators (names TBC);
• Optional conductor feedback in a private video review session with a professional conducting coach.

Guitar Soloists

• Register online (here at Humanitix) with a fee of $15 per player; to be completed by responsible adult;
• Adjudicator TBC.

Registrations: Due 01 June 2021

Please note that the purpose of this humanitix page is to collect registration payments only. Tickets for attendance at the festival will likely need to be pre-booked in 2021 at another humanitix site (watch this space).
