The arts center had to pause its multi-genre guitar competition, which is part of its annual Wilson Center Guitar Festival, because of international travel restrictions, the arts center website said.

"The Wilson Center is most alive when we are able to welcome artists from all over the world to make connections with one another and with our audiences," the arts center said. "The arts bring people together, and never is this more evident than when our halls, spaces, and stages are filled with guitars and guitarists."

Visitors can register for the Q&A for free but must buy tickets to see the concert.
