MICHELE PITTALUGA INTERNATIONAL GUITAR COMPETITION Alessandria, Italy
WFIMC Member since 1981
Few competitions can claim to have done so much for their individual instrument as the Michele Pittaluga International Classical Guitar Competition. Not only has the Pittaluga welcomed less than 1,500 guitarists from over 90 countries to Alessandria over the years, but – through its composition competition and commissions – it has also added enormously to the repertoire of classical guitar. The Guitar competition of Alessandria was set up in 1968, created by Michele Pittaluga with the contribution of Andres Segovia, first Honorary President. From the beginning the competition had an international flavour. Juries comprising the great and the good of the music world have included more than hundreds of world-renowned guitar experts. Along the years were added a composition for guitar section and a competition for young talents. The total cash prize amount exceeds EUR 30,000.
