The University of Rhode Island Guitar and Mandolin Festival has been a consistent feature on the local and national guitar scene since 2015, led by its Artistic Director, Adam Levin. Mr. Levin is not only the director of the classical guitar program at the University of Rhode Island but also a sought-after educator, performer, and recording artist. His last four albums have reached the top 10 on the Billboard Traditional Classical Albums Chart.

The ninth edition, in collaboration with the Rhode Island Guitar Guild, the University of Rhode Island Guitar and Mandolin Festival continues to demonstrate the truly universal nature of the guitar while uniting artists and audiences alike.
