🎸 Meet Julia Trintschuk
This summer, we are delighted to welcome the acclaimed German guitarist to the 24th Transilvania International Guitar Festival.
Recognised as one of the leading guitarists of her generation, Julia has built an international career defined by artistic versatility, expressive performances, and exceptional musicianship. Since making her orchestral debut at the age of sixteen with Joaquín Rodrigo's "Concierto de Aranjuez", she has performed throughout Europe as well as North and South America, captivating audiences with programmes that span more than five centuries of music, from Renaissance masterpieces to contemporary works.
🏆 A prizewinner in more than thirty national and international competitions, Julia's recent achievements include First Prize at the prestigious Alhambra International Guitar Competition (Spain, 2024), one of the highest distinctions in the classical guitar world.
🎓 A graduate of the Robert Schumann Hochschule Düsseldorf, where she studied with Prof. Joaquín Clerch, Julia now teaches at the Karlsruhe University of Music and is regularly invited to serve on the juries of international guitar competitions. Alongside her concert career, she has released two acclaimed albums, with a third recording set to be released in 2026.
At TIGF 2026, Julia will perform in recital, give masterclasses, and serve as a member of the international competition jury.
We look forward to welcoming Julia to Cluj-Napoca this August.
