INTERNATIONALES GITARRENFESTIVAL TÜBINGEN

Welcome to the International Guitar Festival Tübingen 2025

From 7-9 and 14-16 November 2025, Tübingen will once again become a place of music, encounter and international soundscapes.
This year, the International Guitar Festival Tübingen presents an especially rich and varied program, with a musical focus on Latin America - particularly Venezuela.

The festival offers a festive orchestral concert, diverse ensemble performances, an international competition for young talents, an open stage, DJ party, matinee concerts, music in unique venues - and many wonderful surprises.

The IGT is more than a concert series: it is a space for cultural participation, artistic exchange and creative collaboration, in close partnership with local and international institutions.

Especially in times of social uncertainty and global crises, we consciously choose connection through music. Because music brings us closer, builds bridges and reminds us of what unites us.

IGT 2025 will be vibrant, open, diverse - or simply: chévere.

We look forward to welcoming you in November in Tübingen!

In cooperation with Klang in Bewegung, we are proud to present Venezuelan guitarist Nirse González, who will also appear as a soloist in the opening concert of this year's Guitar Festival (Encuentros - Two Horizons, November 7, 2025, with the Baden-Württemberg Residence Orchestra).

This exclusive house concert takes the audience from the baroque soundscapes of Johann Sebastian Bach to the colorful and rhythmic works of Alberto Ginastera - a musical journey from Europe to South America, performed with virtuosity, passion, and expressive depth.

An intimate and unforgettable evening, offering a unique preview of the Festival program.



Tübingen Castle Courtyard Concerts

In 2025, we are especially pleased to collaborate with the Tübingen Castle Courtyard Concerts, a summer festival of music in a unique historic setting.

We particularly recommend the Opening Concert on 30 July 2025 in the courtyard of Tübingen Castle:
An "Argentine Summer Evening" with music by Astor Piazzolla, performed by the Stuttgart Chamber Orchestraand the charismatic accordionist Martynas Levickis..

We are truly delighted to be part of this rich and vibrant musical network in Tübingen!



Tübingen School of Music

The cooperation with the Tübingen School of Music has been an integral part of the International Guitar Festival since the very beginning - and remains one of our most inspiring partnerships.

Each year, the traditional matinee concert featuring the school's talented young musicians is a true highlight. Their passion, energy and musicality create a unique and moving experience.

In 2025, we are particularly excited: after an extensive renovation, we are proud to host key festival events in the newly refurbished spaces of the music school - including the IGT Competition, the award ceremony, and the "Laureates in Concert" performance featuring last year's prizewinners.

We sincerely thank the Tübingen School of Music for this trusted and enriching collaboration- and look forward to many more shared musical moments.
