The New Mexico Classical Guitar Festival is Guitar New Mexico's biggest event each year. It includes workshops, lectures, master classes, and concert performances. The Festival is open to classical guitarists ranging in age from middle school to adult and skill level from beginner to professional. Students participate in four days of intensive instruction, practicing, and performing. The Festival also includes concerts by world-class classical guitarists that are open to the public as well as to participants in the Festival. A key feature of the Festival is the chance for participants to interact informally with each other, local guitar professionals, and guest artists. Tuition is charged, however scholarships and honorariums are available from Guitar New Mexico for participants needing financial assistance.
The mission of Guitar New Mexico is “To encourage and foster the study and appreciation of the classical guitar in the Albuquerque community and beyond.”
