Festival Maribor Countdown: 17 more days to go

20.08.2013

Samo Šalamon and Miloš Karadaglić are two brilliant guitarists who have reached for the stars and got them – that is, however, basically all they have in common.

Miloš is a handsome brilliant classical guitar player with a Mediterranean charm and an unsurpassed musicality. His devotion to the classical guitar has left the critics breathless and the audience stunned. The magazine Gramophone depicted Karadaglić as the most promising artist of the year and his debut album with the record company Deutsche Grammophon – Mediterráneo – as one of the best-selling debut albums of classical music in the world.

At the Maribor Festival we shall witness a virtuous solo performance by Miloš who will bring the atmosphere of the southern charisma right into the hall.

He is currently finishing his PhD and is also working on several different projects. His newest project with the classical string orchestra as part of this year’s Festival Maribor in coproduction with Slovene Philharmonic String Chamber Orchestra is just one of his projects which were inspired by composers such as so Bartók, Stravinski, Messiaen, Lutosławski, Šostakovič and Dutilleux.
