Neuer Termin für 2020 / New Date for 2020
Liebe Freundinnen und Freunde des Koblenz Guitar Festivals,
die durch den Corona-Virus ausgelöste Pandemie hat uns leider dazu gezwungen, das vom 24. Mai bis zum 1. Juni 2020 geplante 28. Festival für diesen Zeitraum abzusagen.
Uns ist es aber nunmehr gelungen, das Festival auf den Herbst zu verschieben.
NEUER TERMIN: 10. bis 17. Oktober 2020.
Das Programm bleibt weitestgehend erhalten, den neuen Konzertplan finden Sie bald auf unserer Website.
Der Koblenz Guitar Competition findet ebenfalls statt, die erste Runde beginnt Samstag 10. Oktober.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen und allen guten Wünschen!

NEW DATE: 10th - 17th- October 2020
The programme will remain, as far as possible, the same. The new concert schedule and dates should be available soon on our website.
