International Guitar Series Presents Andreas Kapsalis & Goran Ivanovic Guitar Duo
Grand Rapids Community College’s International Guitar Series presents The Andreas Kapsalis & Goran Ivanovic Guitar Duo, an Eclectic guitar duo 7:30 p.m. Thursday, February 10, 2011.
“Combining the sounds of steel- and nylon-string acoustic guitars in a stew seasoned with multifinger attacks, percussive beats, and heavy Serbian and Greek influences, Kapsalis and Ivanovic have created one tasty experimental dish. From the opening ostinato of “Shadow Thief,” the record sounds huge. Throughout, Kapsalis’s two-handed steel-string parts frequently create the illusion of three guitars instead of two. It gets even better on “Vertigo,” where his dizzying eight-finger nubs do justice to the song’s title. Ivanovic is no slouch on the nylon, either, wringing out lithe melodic lines throughout.”

Admission for the concert is $10 General and $7 for students and seniors. Parking is available in the GRCC student parking ramp with a $1.00 guest parking voucher sold at the door.
