The San Francisco International Guitar Competition and Residency Program

About the SFIGC
The San Francisco International Guitar Competition and Residency Program is an annual event with the belief that a strong career in music must include community outreach, education and communication skills as well as superior musical abilities. The Competition will alternate, on an annual basis, with the Residency. The first Residency will take place during the 2003-2004 season and features the First Prize winner of the 2002 Competition. This individual will act as an artistic ambassador during the two week Residency which includes professional guidance in musical outreach skills and the opportunity to perform in regional concerts and community events in the San Francisco Bay Area.
