Classical guitarist Ana Vidovic is a bright young talent with formidable gifts who is destined for a major
international career. She is performing at the Museum of Northern Arizona at 7:30 p.m. on Monday,
October 11. Vidovic comes from the small town of Karlovac near Zagreb, Croatia. She began to learn
guitar at five, gave her first public performance by seven, performed internationally at 11, and at 13 became
the youngest student to attend the prestigious National Musical Academy in Zagreb, where she studied
with Professor Istvan Romer.
Vidovic’s reputation in Europe led to an invitation to study with Manuel Barrueco at the Peabody Conservatory in Baltimore, Md., where she graduated in May 2003. At the age of only 22, Ana has received first prizes in the Albert Augustine International Competition in Bath, England, the Fernando Sor Competition in Rome, Italy, and the Francisco Tarrega Competition in Benicasim, Spain. Her other top prizes include the Eurovision Competition for Young Artists, the Mauro Giuliani Competition in Italy, the Printemps de la Guitare in Belgium, and the Young Concert Artists International Auditions in New York. She has given over a thousand public performances since first taking the stage in 1988.
Her international performance career includes recitals in London, Paris, Vienna, Salzburg, Rome, Budapest,
Warsaw, Tel Aviv, Oslo, Copenhagen, Toronto, Baltimore, San Francisco, Houston, Austin, Dallas, and St. Louis. In Croatia, she performed with the Zagreb Soloists, the Zagreb Philharmonic Orchestra, the Symphony Orchestra of Croatian Radio and Television, and was featured in three television documentaries by the eminent Croatian film director, Petar Krelja.
Tickets at the event or at Cedar Music, 1530 S. Riordan Ranch Road in Flagstaff, are available for $15 or
$10 for Grand Canyon Guitar Society members.
