The "20th Hakuju Guitar Festa 2026 Finale" will bring together Japan's top guitarists, including Shinichiro Tokunaga, Takuya Okamoto, Gen Matsuda, Kiyoshi Shomura, and Shinichi Fukuda, for a special concert. Their superb technique and rich musicality will be on full display in both solo and ensemble performances.

Weiss, and "Passacaglia" by M.C.Tedesco. In particular, the world premiere of "The Feast of Awamouri," a work co-commissioned by Junpei Ohtsubo, is a must-see, while J.S.
