Russian term or phrase: Помимо основных концертов, проходят мастер-классы гостей фестиваля
Does this mean that guests of the festival will give master classes to those attending it? Or does it mean that master classes will be given to those attending the festival, who are described as its guests?

Master classes are held (offered) by (musical) guests of the festival


Explanation:
Your source uses present tense. Is it happening right now? Or will happen in future? If it is happening right now, then "will" should not be used.

Besides main concerts, master classes are held by the festival guests.

I added "offered" because it seems to be a little bit more appropriate, it shows that nobody is forced to attend.


Example sentence(s):
  • Dance master classes are held on the Main Stage of the V. Earl Dickinson Building

Asker: You are right, it is happening now so I should not have used the future tense.

Guest artists will also conduct master classes


Explanation:
I really feel something more like guest artists is needed rather than guests, to avoid confusion about who the guests are

For example,

I realize these are from classical music and your festival is rock, but the term master class is usually seen in the classical realm...at least in English
