Young talents from the international acoustic guitar scene will meet at the Theater des Lachens for an evening of concerts. In addition to workshops and master classes at the music schools in Frankfurt and Słubice, they will showcase their talent and take the audience on a journey through the world of virtuoso classical and modern fingerstyle guitar.

In the Seven Hands Trio, the up-and-coming Chinese guitarists Huaicong Mu and Yiang Zhang, who have won several international awards, and Frankfurt-born Timon Jahn combine their talents in chamber music dialogues and solo works.

Janek Pentz is an acoustic guitarist of the younger generation and has already played as the opening act for stars such as Tommy Emmanuel, Andy McKee and Andrew York. In his own compositions, he fuses elements of modern fingerstyle with catchy melodies in a mixture of rock, jazz and classical music.
