Andrea Gonzalez & Grisha Goryachev

The Baltimore Classical Guitar Society presents Andrea Gonzalez & Grisha Goryachev.

Operaworld Magazine describes Andrea Gonzalez Caballero as “the female voice of the Spanish guitar” and BBC Music Magazine describes her as one of today’s “young rising stars of the classical guitar.”

Andrea is a winner of multiple prestigious international guitar competitions, receiving first prize at the “XL International Competition F. Sor” (Rome), and “XIII Alhambra International Guitar Competition” (Valencia), of which she was the youngest guitarist to receive first prize.

A native of St. Petersburg, Russia, Grisha Goryachev is renowned for his extraordinary musical sensitivity and technical virtuosity in both classical and flamenco styles.

Grisha is one of very few guitarists in the world who is reviving the tradition of solo flamenco guitar in a concert setting, that was practiced by legendary flamenco masters such as Ramón Montoya and Sabicas. Grisha strives to keep alive older flamenco masterpieces that now exist only on records, by performing them in concerts. Instead of merely copying, he creates his own interpretations of these masterpieces, using dynamics and tone colors usually associated with classical guitar.
