Séptimo Concurso de Composición para Guitarra Fidelio Vía Internet (2023)

  A big thanks to Antonio for always organising this great competition - besides it being a lot of fun and encouraging, it’s so wonderful to hear the amazing music from all over the world that I otherwise would’ve never discovered. I’m looking forward to participate again next time!

Karlijn Langendijk Castricum (The Netherlands)

   ¡Muchas gracias y de igual forma felicidades por lograr un concurso exitoso! Es un gusto poder oír piezas de personas que, sin haber sido por este concurso, jamás habría oído de ellas.

De verdad que este concurso tiene un esquema interesante, original, y es más dinámico para los compositores. Sin querer menospreciar otros concursos, este es el único que conozco donde el criterio y sistema de votación son claros y la puntuación asignada es transparente. No solo eso, si no que los ganadores se deciden por los votos colectivos de nuestros prójimos – y no por los gustos u opiniones muy particulares de un pequeño comité selecto. Espero que este concurso siga creciendo, y que otros concursos adopten sistemas similares"

Gabriel Gutiérrez Arellano Mexico D.F

  "My publisher informed me about this competition. I'm so happy and proud to have participated, because there are a lot of many talentuous composers. I think it's a big chance to discover such real masterpieces. And most of all, the originality is that each candidate can vote! That's sure, I will do it again"
