Due to its recognizability, accessibility, and mobility, the guitar is among young people’s most demanded instruments. The general interest in the instrument creates the basis for attracting more youngsters to classical music through the guitar. We based our educational activities priorities on the existing demand, and during 2023, the foundation organized 54 one-to-one in-person classical guitar master classes, primarily in Armenian regions.

We continue our Classical Guitar Artistic Training Program in 2024, and to analyze the results, support students and teachers motivation we are planning to end the 2023/24 educational season with the two-level competition system, starting with regional classical guitar competitions, and then organizing the finals in Yerevan.

The competition jury will consist of Armenian and international musicians, as well as the foundation curators, tutors, and mentors.

We intend to invite some of the competition laureates to participate in the Chamber Music Summer School by professor Irina Krasotina on a yearly basis.
