Ensemble Showcase

“The ‘Long Island’ in the festival title clearly refers to its location and origins, rather than to its scope,” The New York Times

The 2025 Guitar Festival is presented in partnership with the Setauket Presbyterian Church and the Oberon Foundation. The Long Island Guitar Festival represents an ongoing commitment to reach out to the arts community here and abroad and continue its established tradition of excellence in guitar performance and pedagogy.

Founded in 1993 this international event provides a unique opportunity to hear world-class artists in person as well as watch them teach master classes, conduct workshops, and perform in concert. The festival also features the nineth annual National High School Guitar Competition
