IARGUS Returns in 2010, Bigger than Ever!

The International Annual Russian Guitar Festival and Seminar (IARGUS) is our biggest event of the year. This is our opportunity to showcase artists from around the world, inform the Eastern Iowa public about the rich culture and history behind the unique seven-string guitar, and teach students of all ages and abilities to play.

The 2010 Festival will be held in September in Iowa City, Iowa with concerts in Iowa City and Cedar Rapids. We are currently working hard to schedule venues and musicians, so please keep checking back to find out the latest information.
