Setting new standards with technical virtuosity and his characteristical interpretation of old and new repertoire makes Goran Krivokapić one of the leading guitarists of the new, international guitar scene.

He won his first international competition at the age of fourteen, and continued to win eighteen more, including two of the most prestigious guitar competitions – “Guitar Foundation of America” (GFA) in Montreal, Canada, and “Dr. Luis Sigall International Competition of Musical Performance” in Viña del Mar, Chile, both in 2004.
Two Golden Guitar awards followed at the annual “International Guitar Convention in Alessandria” in Italy – 2005 as the best young guitarist of the year and 2006 for his debut CD. Since then he has performed all over Europe, North and South America, Asia, Africa and Russia, appearing at such prestigious halls as the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, the Tchaikovsky Hall in Moscow, Lubkowitz Palace in Vienna, and Auditorio Conde Duque in Madrid.

As a performer, lecturer and adjudicator Goran Krivokapić is a frequent guest at many international festivals such as Festspiele Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Festival Internacional de Música y Danza de Granada, Kotor Art, Koblenz International Guitar Festival, Forum Gitarre Wien, Iserlohn International Guitar Festival, GFA International Guitar Convention, A Tempo Festival, Guitar Art Festival, Shenyang Guitar Festival and Daejon Guitar Festival.

As a soloist he has performed with the Slovak Chamber Orchestra of Bohdan Warchal, Symphony Orchestra of Moscow “Russian Philharmony”, New Russian Symphony Orchestra, Turin Philharmonic Orchestra, Belgrade Philharmonic Orchestra, Montenegrin Symphony Orchestra, Romanian National Radio Orchestra, Folkwang Chamber Orchestra, Chilean Symphony Orchestra, Primavera Orchestra, Istanbul State Symphony Orchestra, St. George String Orchestra, Berliner Camerata, Philharmonic Orchestra Bremerhaven and Shenyang Symphony Orchestra.

Goran Krivokapić has given masterclasses, lectures on Bach and workshops at universities such as Grieg Academy (Norway), State University of New York, Hochschule für Musik Detmold, Florida State University, Conservatorium Maastricht, University of Cape Town, University of Texas at Dallas, Cambrian College, Victoria Conservatory of Music, University of Manitoba, University of Texas in Brownsville, State Consevatory M.I. Glinka Nizhny Novgorod, University of Wisconsin, Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, Arkansas State University, University of Veracruz and Tianjin Conservatory.
He has been active in the “Rhapsody in School” project on a regular basis, an outreach initiative of Lars Vogt which devotes itself to bringing classical music into the classroom.

Regular broadcasts and interviews for television and radio include WDR, Hessischer Rundfunk, Bayerischer Rundfunk, Radio Bremen, Arte, Fox 7, WBGH Boston, Fine Music Radio, ClassicFM, ABC ClassicFM and RTCG.
His recordings and performances have been highly praised and featured in Classical Guitar Magazine (UK), Soundboard Magazine (USA), Akustik Gitarre, Neue Musikzeitung, (Germany), Gendai Guitar Magazine (Japan), Musica, Seicorde, Il Fronimo and La Stampa (Italy), Les Cahiers de la Guitare (France), Beeld and Die Burger (South Africa), Vijesti and Mobilart (Montenegro).

Goran Krivokapic’s musical focus is on the development of new works for classical guitar, mainly through making his own transcriptions from the baroque and classical works, and collaborating with contemporary composers such as Dusan Bogdanovic, Gerard Drozd and Queen Elizabeth Music Competition winner and Wim Wenders soundtrack composer Hendrik Hofmeyr. Drozd and Hofmeyr have dedicated several of their solo and chamber music works to him.

As a chamber musician he is part of the Montenegrin Guitar Duo, together with Danijel Cerovic. Their performances have been highly acclaimed by both audience and critics who praise their historically informed performances of J. S. Bach’s English Suites in a new, fresh approach on two guitars.

Born in 1979, Goran Krivokapic started his music education when he was eight with Mićo Poznanović at the Music School of Herceg Novi in Montenegro and furthered his studies at the Faculty of Music Art in Belgrade in the class of Srdjan Tošić, graduating in 2000. He continued with Hubert Käppel and Roberto Aussel at the “Hochschule für Musik Köln” in Germany, where he graduated and received the “Konzertexamen” degree. He then pursued his master ’s degree at the Conservatorium Maastricht, the Netherlands, under the tutelage of Carlo Marchione.

Een graag geziene gast op de internationale concertpodia dat is het Montenegrin Guitar Duo (Goran Krivokapic en Danijel Cerovic). Zo waren ze o.a. al te horen en te zien bij het Kotor Art Festival, Koblenz International Guitar Festival en het Shenyang International Guitar Festival en nu dus in Groningen voor het openingsconcert van het eerste European Guitar Concerto Competition & Festival.

Ze reizen de wereld rond voor recitals, voor concerten met orkest, geven masterclasses, lezingen over het arrangeren van de muziek van J.S.Bach en worden veelvuldig gevraagd om plaats te nemen in jury`s. Ze worden geroemd door zowel publiek als critici voor hun historisch verantwoorde uitvoeringen van de Engelse Suites van J.S.Bach.

Voor het openingsconcert in ons festival staat naast de muziek van Bach, ook
de zeer gepassioneerde muziek van Astor Piazzolla en Manuel de Falla op het programma.
