Das "La Guitarra esencial" Festival in Millstatt am See in Kärnten feuert heuer sein 10-jähriges Festivaljubiläum. Vom 2. bis zum 6. August bietet das Event dieses Jahr sein bis dato wohl ausgefeiltestes Program. Die Bandbreite reicht dabei genreübergreifend von Klassik über Fingerstyle, Klangwelten aus dem Reich der mongolischen Steppe und des Himalaya, bis hin zu skandinavischen Tälern. Gegründet und geleitet von der österreichischen Gitarristin JULIA MALISCHNIG, hat sich das Festival weit über die Landesgrenzen hinaus einen Namen als eines der spannendsten Veranstaltungen rund ums Thema Gitarre gemacht. Wir sprachen mit Julia über die Highlights des Festivalprogramms, ihre neue CD „Kiss of Life“, und ihren musikalischen Werdegang. (Photo: Gisela Schenker)
