Thanks to guitarists such as Andrés Segovia and Julian Bream, composers such as Villa Lobos, Castelnuovo Tedesco, Britten, Rodrigo, Webern, Stravinsky, Takemitsu, Kurtag, Henze, Boulez, Crumb, Petrassi, Donatoni, Gnattali, Guastavino, Brouwer, Piazzolla and many others have been inspired to incorporate the guitar into ensembles, often in unusual combinations. The students of the guitar classes enthusiastically participated in 10 editions of this competition (which we were able to organise until 2019 thanks to the support of the French string company Savarez-Corelli).
