Goran Ivanovic solo classical/acoustic guitar live in Hinsdale, IL

GORAN IVANOVIC – Solo Acoustic Guitarist & Composer

Goran Ivanovic is a genre-defying solo guitarist whose original compositions draw from a rich tapestry of influences—classical, Balkan, cinematic soundtracks, and contemporary harmonic language. Rooted in the acoustic tradition yet constantly evolving, his music blends intricate fingerstyle technique with deeply emotional storytelling.

Born into the cultural crosscurrents of Eastern Europe and shaped by years of classical training and global collaboration, Goran's solo work is a deeply personal exploration of identity, place, and sound. Each piece is a journey—at once intimate and expansive—merging the precision of classical music with the soulful intensity of Balkan folk and the evocative depth of film scores.

This season, Goran will debut a never-before-performed original set, offering audiences a first glimpse of his new material. Additionally, he is set to release a highly anticipated solo record later this year.

Performing on both classical and acoustic guitars, Goran’s playing is virtuosic and lyrical, captivating listeners with fluid dynamics, harmonic complexity, and rhythmic drive. He performs exclusively on masterfully crafted instruments: acoustic guitars by Collings Guitars and classical guitars by renowned Granada luthier Juan García Fernández. These exceptional instruments are integral to his artistry, offering nuanced expression and commanding projection.

Goran’s compositions bridge tradition and modernity, showcasing the solo guitar as a profoundly expressive and complete musical language. Whether on stage or in the studio, his performances are immersive musical journeys—transcending genres and borders to resonate deeply with audiences everywhere.
