Mak Grgič, guitar

Innovative guitar virtuoso and educator Mak Grgić is a rising star of the international music scene. After training in Ljubljana, Zagreb, Vienna and, finally, Los Angeles, where he studied with Scott Tennant, he was invited to join the Artist Diploma programme at USC Thornton School of Music in Los Angeles – the first guitarist in the university’s history to be admitted to this elite programme. His repertoire covers everything from the great works for classical guitar and Balkan music, via contemporary microtonal and avant-garde compositions, to film music, pop and jazz. He is also artistic director of the M. A. R. S. festival of interdisciplinary arts and the Zagreb International Guitar Festival. His extraordinary talent has won the praise of eminent guitar critic Christopher McGuire and numerous publications, including Chitarra Classica and Guitar Society. At his Ljubljana concert he will perform Rodrigo’s famous Concierto de Aranjuez, one of the most popular guitar concertos of the twentieth century.
