Competition
The IGT Competition 2025 brought young guitarists from different countries to Tübingen.
The competition gave them the opportunity to present their artistry before both audience and
jury and to become an active part of the festival.
This year, the required repertoire focused on Antonio Lauro, one of the most important
composers for classical guitar in Latin America. For the first time, the competition took place
in the Aula of the Tübinger Musikschule, which provided a special and inspiring setting.
