Since arriving in the United States in 1994, Colombian-born

path in music. He brings not only an unfamiliar instrument but

a wholly original voice to jazz, branching out into a world of

different styles and genres.

From Ljubljana’s Philharmonic Hall to Artegna Castle in Italy,

Konzerthaus Klagenfurt in Austria and the Hall of the Arts

Academy in Berlin, Slovenian classical guitarist Karmen Stendler

has appeared in a wide range of venues both as soloist and a

member of the Weimar Guitar Quartet.

Inspired by the rhythms and melodies of flamenco, jazz,

classical, rock and the Balkan region, Goran Ivanovic and

Fareed Haque have recorded two CDs together, getting the nod

as best acoustic guitar albums from Acoustic Guitar Magazine.

Sabrina Vlaskalic

SaturdayMarch 23

7:30 pm

Sabrina is one of the world’s most beloved concert artists

with an exceptionally strong bond with her instrument.

Her power of expression lies in a deep understanding

of the timbre of the guitar and in profound control over

transformations of intensity and character.

There are many steel-string acoustic wizards in our local guitar community. The acoustic guitar has evolved to produce a wide array of sounds and styles. Whether six-string, twelve-string, or Dobro, flatpicked, fingerstyle, or slide, standard tuning, open D, or DADGAD, the musicality and variety presented by these local artists will be sure to impress and entertain!
