The 2021 GFA International Convention will be held at Metropolitan State University in Denver from June 21-26 and will be a unique hybrid experience. Come and join us in-person in Denver for safely distanced live concerts, lectures, master classes, technique workshops, and our Vendor Expo. Outdoor evening concerts will feature LAGQ, Grisha, Mak Grgic, Nejc Kuhar, Natalia Lipnitskaya, Johan Smith, and more. We’ll be streaming lectures, technique workshops, master classes, and competitions on our YouTube and Facebook channels, so you can also join us at home if you can’t make it to Denver in person. In-person and virtual registration passes are available on our website now.
The GFA International Concert Artist Competition (ICAC) will hold its Preliminary Round online, while its Semifinal and Final Rounds will be live in Denver at the 2021 GFA Convention. The International Youth Competition (IYC) and International Ensemble Competition (IEC) are being held fully online for 2021.
