Due to her great popularity, guitarist Kristina Vårlid (NO) will be our guest at the Rotenburg Guitar Week for the second time. Despite her young age, she can already look back on an impressive international concert career and, at only 24, took over the university class at the Prince Claus Conservatoire in Groningen. She also teaches at the University of Agder.

The guitar duo Woch x Guzik (PL) impressively demonstrates how two outstanding guitarists can merge into a single sound. As representatives of the younger generation, they seek innovative approaches and new musical ideas. Adam Woch has already participated in the Rotenburg Guitar Week several times – so we are all the more delighted to welcome him now as an artist together with his duo partner Robert Guzik.

Julius Ebert graduated from the Schloss Belvedere Music High School with guitar as his main subject. Despite shifting his focus towards orchestral conducting and accompaniment during his music studies, he shares his extensive experience, particularly in chamber music and orchestral playing, at the Rotenburg Guitar Week, which he himself discovered for the first time in 2019.


What a magic place!

"What a magic place!" once said Luis Molina (Cuba). And because that's how it is, everyone is welcome - from beginners to professionals of all ages.

We live in a small but charming Landheim (dormitory) in a small village in northern Germany. An enchanting place in the middle of a small forest. Here you immediately relax, forget the rest of the world and enjoy a week of guitar with good friends like in a big family.
