The 2024 New Mexico Guitar Festival features more workshops and guitar orchestra this year! Saturday's MainStage is headlined by Ensemble Corcovado, a Brazilian music project featuring the Rio Grande Guitar Quartet & friends. Friday's New Mexico Showcase concert includes the Duke City Trio and our own Guitar Youth Orchestra. The Festival Orchestra will once again be led by the dynamic Chuck Hulihan, culminating in a concert on Sunday. And, of course, we offer masterclasses, workshops, and lots of camaraderie!
