In memory of Gohar and Ovanes Andriassian, this annual competition and festival is established with a unique message of inclusion and encouragement. Established in 2016, this is one of the most inclusive and affordable events of its kind, where students find a means to deepen their determination and strive to achieve their goals of becoming the best musician.
Festival director Satik Andriassian is committed to creating an educational event where students and enthusiasts of the classical guitar come together in a supportive and encouraging environment to share ideas and build friendships. Since 2016, the event has grown to offer a solo guitar and composition competition with great prizes, a clinic for middle school and high school guitar ensembles, masterclasses, workshops, discussion panels and concerts.
