As part of the 2012-2013 concert series, Grand Canyon Guitar Society proudly presents Vladmir Gorbach in concert at 7:00pm on Saturday, January 26, 2013 at the Coconino Center for the Arts.

To date, Vladimir Gorbach has won first place in more than 10 international competitions abroad, including the Guitar Foundation of America’s International Competition in 2011. He was born in 1981 in Novosibirsk, Russia and began guitar lessons at the age of 11. He studied with such luminaries as Manuel Barrueco, Pepe Romero, and David Russell.

When an artist wins First Prize at the Guitar Foundation of America’s (GFA) International Concert Artist Competition, it’s a life-changing experience. Galen Wixson, Executive Director of the GFA, puts it simply:“First Place winners go on to become some of the most sought-after artists in the guitar world. The winner’s international tour spans the globe, with over 50 concerts in one season. The prestige and opportunity that come with this title catapult the artist’s career forward and virtually guarantee international acclaim.”

Mr Gorbach comes to Flagstaff as part of the Winner’s tour on Saturday, January 26, 2013.
