Guitarist MILOŠ’ solo concert

 

 

“I want to wake the guitar up from this hibernation, and show what I can do and what my instrument can do” said MILOŠ - his stage name - after the release of his first album. He is helped in fulfilling his dream by both his personality and talent, because, as reported by The Independent, “no other guitarist can match his graceful blend of personal charisma and technical finesse.” This concert will include a juxtaposition of Baroque music with works of the 20th century, which give rise to his characteristic passion and freedom of expression that encapsulates the southern European heart of the music.

Guitarist Miloš Karadaglič (1983) is often called the world’s most passionate guitarist.

 

“I want to wake the guitar up from this hibernation, and show what I can do and what my instrument can do.” said Karadaglič – also known just by his mononym Miloš – after the release of his first album. He is helped in fulfilling his dream by both his personality and talent, because as reported by The Independent, “no other guitarist can match his graceful blend of personal charisma and technical finesse.”

Music critics have added that, unlike violinists, pianists or singers who can enter a well-structured musical environment with a stable audience at the beginning of their career, this is not the case with guitarists. Classical guitar is still considered to be somewhat of an outsider among professional musicians.

 

With concerts taking place in the historic cities of Riga and Jurmala, the Riga Jurmala Music Festival features four weekends throughout the summer. A leading international orchestra and conductor anchor each weekend, offering a range of symphonic concerts and recitals that feature leading stars and young up-and-coming talent.
