In 2009, members of the Baltic Guitar Quartet started organising the International Baltic Guitar Festival. Performing abroad and taking part in various festivals, the quartet often attends performances by other guitarists who have never performed in the Baltic States. Observing the work of other guitarists, the musicians came up with the idea of organising concerts in the Baltic States and presenting the world's best guitar virtuosos, whose performances would be a source of inspiration for guitarists and classical guitar lovers. The aim is also to give the guitar a well-deserved place on the classical music scene. For several years now, the Classical Guitar Festival has been held in the Birštonas Kurhaus, where the classical guitar has been played since the 19th century.
 
The festival has already been visited by the following artists: Los Angeles Guitar Quartet (USA), Bandini Chiacchiaretta Duo (Italy), Roland Dyens (France), Amadeus Duo (Germany and Canada), Luz de Luna (Belgium), Irina Kulikova (Russia/Dutch), Daniel Marques (Brazil), Thibault Cauvin (France), Dimitris Regginos (Cyprus), Paolo Devecchi and Salvatore Seminara (Italy), Judicaël Perroy (France), Eden Stell Guitar Duo (UK), Aniello Desiderio (Italy), Raphaella Smits (Belgium), Vladislav Bláha (Czech Republic), Pavel Steidl (Czech Republic), Lukasz Kuropaczewski (Poland), Anabel Montesinos (Spain), Costas Cotsiolis (Greece), Laura Young (Canada), Edin Karamazov (Bosnia and Herzegovina), etc.
