The International Festival and Competition "SILESIAN GUITAR AUTUMN" was first held in 1986 and was immediately recognized as one of Europe's most significant guitar festivals. The event was devised by the long-term Chancellor of the Music Academy in Katowice and a doyen of Polish guitar playing, Józef Powroźniak, with the help of Jan Edmund Jurkowski and the then director of the Department of Culture in Tychy, Jan Kulbicki.
A biennial event, it has four components: 1) guitar concerts with orchestra and recitals of world-famous guitarists; 2) three-stage competition for young guitarists - JAN EDMUND JURKOWSKI GUITAR COMPETITION; 3) master courses; and 4) exhibitions and selling of guitars and music publications.
The Festival has so far featured a number of virtuoso guitarists, among them David Russell, Roland Dyens, Sergio and Odair Assad, Carlo Marchione, Costas Cotsiolis, Roberto Aussel and Leo Brouwer, as well as the world-famous LOS ANGELES GUITAR QUARTET.
