International Guitar Festival: Katalin Koltai, Shannon-Latoyah Simon & Clark-Hudrea Duo Kings Place

One of the most exciting new IGF projects, which was devised during the lockdown is La Leona: Women and the Guitar. New works have been commissioned under the La Leona project, which offers commissions and training for women composers to create guitar music. Through La Leona, IGF is encouraging young women composers who are taking their early steps in establishing their careers, giving them the opportunity to work through the full creation process, offering support through collaboration with the performer and finally guaranteeing a première and repeat performances in important concert venues, such as Kings Place.
