About Festival Chitarra Lagonegro
Great guitar music in Basilicata
In Lagonegro, a town in the province of Potenza on the southern slope of the Lucanian Apennines, the International Guitar Festival has been one of the most prestigious guitar events in Italy for decades. Organized by the Associazione Amici della Musica del Lagonegrese, the festival has built an important history in the classical guitar scene over time, attracting internationally renowned performers to Basilicata.
Classical, jazz, and new languages
The program blends classical guitar with openings to jazz and other musical styles, with a lineup that unfolds in the heart of summer, typically in the second half of August, and continues with events in the following months. Recent editions have hosted prominent names from the international guitar scene, in concerts held in Lagonegro and the surrounding municipalities of the Lagonegrese area.
A festival rooted in the territory
In addition to concerts, the festival organizes activities for deeper understanding and promotion of guitar culture, including presentations and tributes to great masters of the instrument. Experiencing the festival means combining great music with the discovery of a mountain territory overlooking the Lucanian Apennines National Park, amidst the villages and landscapes of the Lagonegrese area.
