Lulo Reinhardt: Guitar Virtuoso with Latin and Gypsy Swing
The grand-nephew of legendary Django Reinhardt, Lulo plays Latin Swing music, a combination of Gypsy Swing with Latin rhythms.

Alexandra Whittingham: British Classical Guitarist
Young British guitarist Alexandra Whittingham trained classically for twelve years before releasing her debut album My European Journey in 2021. The album focuses on 19th-century European repertoire. Her passion for nineteenth-century music combined with a love of discovering lesser-known composers and bringing them into the spotlight. Staple works by Napoléon Coste, Giulio Regondi, and Luigi Legnani give a warm Romantic embrace to a clutch of unheard miniatures – brimming with character and local color from Vienna, London, Copenhagen, and beyond.

Niwel Tsumbu : Guitar Virtuoso and Singer
Niwel Tsumbu​ is a guitarist and singer who grew up with the hip-swinging Soukous music from the Democratic Republic Of The Congo. Strongly influenced by guitarists such as Paco de Lucia, Luambo Makiadi, Baden Powell and Joe Pass, Niwel Tsumbu has amalgamated these different styles and blurred the boundaries of African, Classical and Jazz music with his amazing virtuosity, passion and graceful guitar playing.

Sönke Meinen: Guitarist, Composer and Storyteller
A single guitar and a bar stool, Sönke Meinen doesn’t need much more to break with the expectations of a conventional guitar concert and to enthuse his audiences all over the world. With his captivating performances, the charismatic musician makes acoustic guitar music accessible to everyone who is looking for something original, handmade and extraordinary or simply for finest musical entertainment.
