Whether you’re a student, professional, teacher, or music lover, this festival offers something for everyone.
✨ Don’t miss this chance to connect, learn, and be inspired!
To help you plan, here’s a quick guide to the different ticket options:
​
Full-Day or Multi-Day Passes
-
Give you access to all events that day (or all weekend), including concerts, workshops, lectures, and the luthier showcase.
-
Note: Masterclass participation requires a separate ticket and in the case of our headliners, a video audition (due no later than 10/25, emailed to us). Day and multi-day passes include entry to watch the masterclasses, but not to perform.
​
Concert Tickets (à la carte)
-
If you’d rather come just for an evening concert, you can purchase individual concert tickets instead of a full pass.
Student & CGG Member Discounts
-
Discounted pricing is available — because we want the festival to be open and welcoming to all.
In short:
A full-day or weekend pass = everything except playing in a masterclass
Individual tickets = concerts only
