Wirral Guitar Festival, Floral Pavillion, New Brighton
Friday 31st May 2019, 7:30pm Miloš Karadaglić, Miloš has appeared in recital at almost all major concert halls and festivals around the globe and has worked with many of the world’s leading orchestras and conductors. He is also the first ever classical guitarist to have performed in solo recital at the Royal Albert Hall in London, The Guardian commenting: “More extraordinary by far, however, was the way a single guitarist... could shrink the Hall’s cavernous space into something so close.” The Independent concluded: “... a sleight of hand that makes Karadaglić not only a magician, but a serious and accomplished musician”.

It’s hard to believe they’ve been performing together for 30 years, but it’s true, and they’ve decided to celebrate Hollywood style, with an evening of music inspired by the movies – from John Williams, Leonard Bernstein and Ennio Morricone right through to Los Lobos and Game of Thrones. They always bring the house down: just watch those fingers fly!
