Hamburg’s HANSE Guitar Festival brings concerts, workshops and a competition final

The HANSE Guitar Festival takes place at Kulturhof Dulsberg in Hamburg from 5 to 8 November. Presented by GitarreHamburg, the event brings together concerts, courses, workshops and talks across several guitar genres.

This edition will also host the final of the Haspa GUITAR CUP. For listeners interested in emerging performers, the competition adds another reason to explore the weekend alongside the concert programme.

A festival to explore

The organiser describes a free supporting programme that includes an activity stage, exhibition, information stands and discussion formats. These can offer useful opportunities for teachers and players to meet others and explore the wider guitar community.

Choose your sessions

The festival covers several styles, so consult the individual concert and workshop listings when planning a classical-guitar-focused visit. Free access to the supporting programme does not establish that every concert or course is free; use the official programme for prices and booking conditions.
