Tenth Anniversary

To celebrate a decade of success, ACGYO planned a special tour to Spain, offering young musicians a unique opportunity to experience a new culture and share their artistry with an international audience.

Wall of Alcoy

The tour took the orchestra to Muro de Alcoy, a charming town known for its rich musical tradition and connection to guitar making. The young musicians were captivated by the town's hospitality and charm.

One of the highlights of the trip was a visit to the Alhambra Guitars workshops.

Alhambra Guitarras offered 13 guitars to the orchestra for its concerts in Spain, facilitating their performances and strengthening the bond between the young musicians and the brand.

The Tour of Spain

ACGYO delighted Spanish audiences with a series of concerts, from intimate performances in small towns to grand performances in bustling cities, creating a special connection with the audience.
