Grisha Goryachev

Guitarist Grigory Goryachev has been acclaimed the world over for his blinding virtuosity and extraordinary musical sensitivity. As a master of both flamenco and classical styles, he has created a new genre all his own. Following his debut at the age of nine, Mr. Goryachev enjoyed an extensive career as a child prodigy, performing in the most prestigious concert halls of St. Petersburg, Moscow, Minsk, Riga and other major cities in the then Soviet Union. His talent has lead him to perform for the Queen of Iceland, the UN headquarters in New York City, the Festival International de Colmar in Colmar, France and a tour of Spain just to mention a few. A night with this internationally acclaimed musician will be most riveting! Grisha is on the Massachusetts Cultural Council touring roster. This is what the MCC has to say:”This internationally-acclaimed Flamenco guitarist delivers an intimate and exciting show. Grisha’s technical brilliance and lightning execution of the intricate melodies is riveting, and his youth and controlled energy make him very visually appealing. Grisha’s repertoire ranges from traditional classical Flamenco to newer, jazzier works by contemporary composers and has broad age appeal.”
