Saigon International Guitar Festival to return this August with fresh features
VOV.VN - The Saigon International Guitar Festival (SIGF) 2025 will take place from August 14 to 17 at the Institute of Cultural Exchange with France (IDECAF) in Ho Chi Minh City.

For the first time, the festival will move beyond its traditional venue at the Ho Chi Minh City Conservatory to include an open-air art space, expanding both its reach and atmosphere.
Over four days, attendees can look forward to a rich program featuring concerts, a classical guitar competition, workshops, masterclasses led by internationally acclaimed guitarists, and community-focused outdoor performances.
Launched in 2014, the SIGF has become a platform for Vietnamese guitarists to learn from world-renowned artists and has since grown into one of Southeast Asia’s premier classical music festivals.
Now in its 11th edition, the festival is jointly organized by the Ho Chi Minh City Conservatory, Guitar Saigon, and artLIVE, aiming to inspire guitar lovers and foster exchange among artists, educators, students, and the wider music community.
