Our Adventure at the Hersbruck Festival 🎸

Adam Woch & Robert Guzik sharing stage with Yamandu Costa

The Hersbruck Guitar Festival is a place we had heard about for a long time. For 25 years it has been bringing together guitarists from all over the world, and it has something truly special – an atmosphere that makes everyone who loves music and the art of playing guitar feel right at home.

A Concert Full of Emotions

We had the honor of performing there as a guitar duo and presenting two brand-new works – world premieres by Cuban composer Tulio Peramo. It was an incredible moment for us. Those sounds were heard for the very first time in Hersbruck, and they will stay with us for a long time. We also played our own arrangements, and right after us the legendary Los Angeles Guitar Quartet took the stage.

Encounters and Inspiration

The festival is not only about the stage, but also about the people you meet there. Conversations with fellow musicians, special moments with the audience, and getting to know the organizers – all of this makes Hersbruck such a unique place. It has a warm, family-like atmosphere while at the same time holding enormous prestige in the guitar world. Sharing post-concert conversations with Badi Assad, Jon Gomm, and Yamandu Costa was truly unforgettable.

Dreams Come True

Looking back, just a few years ago we wouldn’t have imagined standing on that stage as a guitar duo. And yet – dreams really do come true if you keep moving step by step and never stop believing in music. To top it all off, as the grand finale and a surprise closing of the festival, we had the chance to perform together with Yamandu Costa.

Gratitude

We are deeply grateful to the organizers for the invitation and for creating a space where the guitar can sound so beautifully. We return full of inspiration, with our heads buzzing with ideas and our hearts overflowing with gratitude.
