Grigory Goryachev - Classical Guitar
Sunday, January 7th • 3:00 pm
Tea reception to follow the concert
A native of St. Petersburg, Russia, guitarist Grigory Goryachev has been acclaimed the world over for his blinding virtuosity and extraordinary musical sensitivity. As a master of both flamenco and classical styles, he has created a new genre all his own and garnered praise from such guitar luminaries as Paco de Lucía, Christopher Parkening, and Eliot Fisk. Since coming to the United States, Mr. Goryachev has continued his lifelong love affair with flamenco while deepening his involvement with the classical style. His repertoire now includes classical solos, chamber music and guitar concertos and more than six hours of flamenco solos by such composers as Paco de Lucía, Vicente Amigo, Manolo Sanlucar and others. At present he continues to balance international concert obligations with study at the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston, where he is earning his undergraduate degree under American virtuoso, Eliot Fisk.
