About Us
“Synergy Guitar” is an annual guitar competition founded by Armenian guitar player Khoren Miakyelyan and InMotion Armenia youth NGO.
“The number of young musicians interested in the electric guitar is growing year by year. There are already many young and talented guitarists who, unfortunately, do not have enough platforms to showcase and develop their skills.
In 2021, Synergy M Lab organized a guitar contest in Armenia that was so inspiring and productive that we decided to make SGC an annual event in different countries. The competition was supported by brands such as Fender and D’Addario.
In 2022, the Synergy Guitar Competition became an international sensation, hosted in Georgia, Tbilisi.
Looking ahead to 2024 SGC is set to take place in Poland, Warsaw. This initiative aims to foster connections among young guitar players from Armenia, Georgia, and across Europe.
We think it’s time to liven up the electronic guitar music scene and give young musicians new opportunities to perform and make connections with professional and experienced guitarists.”
"You should try not to be afraid of your voice."
