About the Montenegrin Guitar Duo
The Montenegrin Guitar Duo consists of two eminent classical guitarists from Montenegro – Goran Krivokapić and Danijel Cerović. The duo is frequently invited to prestigious international venues around the world to give recitals, deliver lectures and masterclasses, perform concerti for two guitars, and adjudicate important competitions.
The Montenegrin Guitar Duo has a large repertoire, comprising transcriptions of ancient music and original compositions written in the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries. Their two principal aims are to broaden the guitar repertoire and to further integrate the guitar into chamber music.
Their debut CD, comprising pieces by C. Domeniconi, A. Piazzolla and D. Bogdanović, was published in 2013. Two years later, Naxos released the first of two volumes of J. S. Bach’s English Suites, transcribed by the duo for two guitars. Completing this unique project to transcribe and record the entire set of English Suites, Volume 2 was released in June 2018. These historically-informed performances have received particularly high praise from the critics. The duo is currently preparing for their next CD, featuring works by A. Piazzolla.
Guitar virtuoso Goran Krivokapić is a leading international guitarist who has won first prize at nineteen prestigious international competitions. He has performed across Europe, North and South America, Asia, Africa and Russia, appearing at major festivals and concert halls such as the Tchaikovsky Hall, Lubkowitz Palace, Concertgebouw and Auditorio Conde Duque. Having taught previously at the Koblenz International Guitar Academy, The Lemmens Institute and Prince Claus Conservatoire, he teaches at Detmold University of Music and is professor of guitar at The Cologne University of Music.
Danijel Cerović is an internationally acclaimed recording artist, touring musician and pedagogue. A versatile solo and chamber musician, he has lectured in guitar and chamber music at the Music Academy in Cetinje, University of Montenegro, and around the world. He is also a regular guest professor at Sarajevo Music Academy. Danijel is the Artistic Director and co-founder of the International Nikšić Guitar Festival and Competition.
