MILOŠ KARADAGLIĆ, a leading classical guitarist of his generation, drew special attention across the globe with his debut album The Guitar in 2011. He first started playing the guitar at the age of 8, and enrolled in the Royal Music Academy in London when he was 16. As a soloist, he has appeared with many of the world’s leading ensembles, such as the Los Angeles, Munich, Czech, and London Philharmonic, the Chicago Symphony, and the National Symphony Orchestras of Cleveland, Philadelphia, Spain, Washington, and Japan. Karadaglić has given numerous recitals in prominent concert halls and at major festivals in Europe, Japan, and the USA, as well as performed concerts in non-traditional venues – in chamber music spaces and great concert halls, such as the London Royal Albert Hall, for an audience of thousands. As an exclusive artist of the label Deutsche Grammophon, he has recorded several albums; his latest one, Blackbird: The Beatles Аlbum, was released in 2016 by the label Mercury Classics/Deutsche Grammophon. He also recorded the soundtrack of the animated movie When Marnie Was There (Studio Ghibli, 2014). In 2018 Miloš launched a new series of four classical guitar method books published by Schott Music, titled Play Guitar with Miloš.

Argentinian Astor Piazzolla was born exactly a century ago. Drawing on elements from classical music, Argentine folk music and jazz, he freed traditional tango from its straitjacket and became a world star with his ‘tango nuevo’. This new tango transcended dance. As he himself wrote, it was ‘more for the ear than for the feet’. But above all that, it is music that goes straight to the heart. Accordionist Ksenija Sidorova and guitarist Miloš Karadaglić, two rising stars from Eastern Europe, couldn’t agree more.
