Zoran Dukic – Altamira Concert and Discussion

Croatian classical guitarist Zoran Dukić performs an online concert for Altamira Guitars in his hometown in Zagreb, Croatia with repertoire by Fumic, Barrios, Ellington, and Bach. This comes via Altamira Guitars and their YouTube channel. I’m really enjoying these discussions and concerts sponsored by Altamira. Super nice to hear the artist discuss the repertoire and to just get a sense of their personalities as well. Here he’s playing an Altamira Hanson N3 double top guitar. See the description below for repertoire and discussion topics and times.
