Rising Star Concerts

In an effort to help talented young artists who are on the onset of their performance careers develop their careers, Aguado Guitar Concerts is happy to offer an opportunity to give a public concert sponsored by Aguado Guitar Concerts – a Rising Star Concert. This opportunity is available to young artists not over 30 who do not have a fully established performance career. Aguado Guitar Concerts will provide the artists a concert fee, free lodging for one night, a chance to perform in the Community Lutheran Church Sanctuary, a printed program, and include their concert in the advertisements on its mailing list. The artists are expected to participate actively in advertising their concert and recruiting their audience. They will also receive a free coaching session from the AGC President, Dr. Lončar. Young artists are welcome to submit their applications to Aguado Guitar Concerts Director at concerts1@aguadoguitar.org. The application needs to include a bio and a professional CD or a live video recording of a previous concert. Applications for the 2025/2026 season are now closed.
