🎫 TAIGF 2025 Festival Pass – Balestrand

Join us for the most anticipated moments of TAIGF 2025 — the semifinal and final rounds of the Tino Andersen International Guitar Festival’s renowned solo competition. This ticket gives full access to both days, where the last 12 classical guitarists from an original pool of 40 will perform for an international jury and audience.

TAIGF is now among the most significant classical guitar festivals and competitions in Europe, attracting elite young musicians from across the globe. The final rounds are the culmination of a multi-stage selection process that began months in advance and included live auditions, video submissions, and a competitive international field. The 12 remaining artists represent some of the most promising solo guitarists in the world today.

This event offers a rare opportunity to hear high-level classical guitar repertoire performed at a professional standard — from historic masterworks to daring contemporary pieces. For audience members, musicians, teachers, and curious listeners alike, the semifinal and final concerts are at the heart of what TAIGF is about: excellence, passion, and the future of the classical guitar.

In addition to the final rounds of the competition, this Festival Pass gives full access to all concerts held in Balestrand, including the performance by the acclaimed Mēla Guitar Quartet. Known for their extraordinary ensemble playing and inventive programming, Mēla GQ represents the artistic level and spirit that defines the TAIGF stage.

This is your pass to a full weekend of concerts, discovery, and world-class guitar music — all taking place in the spectacular fjord setting of Balestrand.

* Please note: This pass only covers the Balestrand portion of the festival. If you wish to attend concerts in Bergen earlier in the week, a separate festival pass must be purchased here.
