Summer Guitar Festival

THE MOST PROFESSIONAL GUITAR COURSE IN POLAND

Summer Guitar Festival has been held continuously since 2001.
Every year, excellent musicians from Poland and abroad share here their music knowledge and skills. Mutual understanding and respect is the secret of the Festival’s success. This magical event and place create a friendly and comfortable environment for all participants – regardless of their music education level.

„”The casual nature is something that sets Krzyzowa apart from other festivals of its kind. The rigid boundary between participants
and teachers are blurred, which opens both sides to new experiences and inspires further exploration.”

Six Strings of the World, magazine

 

Summer Guitar Festival is the ideal place for both those who want to improve their guitar skills and those who would simply like to try it out.
We invite children and adults, pupils and students, beginners and advanced to Krzyżowa – everyone who feels, that the guitar is just for them!

Invariably, for over 20 years the artistic director of the Summer Guitar Festival has been its originator – an outstanding guitarist, Professor of the Academy of Music in Bydgoszcz, Krzysztof Pełech
