Capricho Arabe (Francisco Tárrega) played by Evangelos Assimakopoulos on Classical Guitar

Biography of Classical Guitarist Evangelos Assimakopoulos:

The superb concerts of Evangelos Assimakopoulos and his wife Liza Zoe in Europe, United States and Canada, have made them one of the most highly regarded duo guitarists in the world today.

Not only have the two Greek musicians been acclaimed by many newspapers of repute, including the New York times, Daily Telegraph, Paris Matin, Chicago Sun and Los Angeles Times, but they also earned the esteem of the great Andrés Segovia himself, who wrote of them: "Since Fate cruelly deprived us of Presti-Lagoya, I no longer had the pleasure of listening to any similar duo. But lately, when the talented Greek guitarists Evangelos and Liza played for me, I felt complete satisfaction and enjoyment. I cordially wish Evangelos and Liza to conquer the high esteem of the public as they have conquered mine."

They both began their studies of the guitar in 1953 at the National Conservatory of Athens with Dimitris Fampas. After receiving first prizes "with excellence " upon graduating, they shared the first two prizes in the International Competition in Naples, Italy. For four consecutive periods they were awarded scholarships to study with the Presti-Lagoya duo in France and with Andrés Segovia in Spain. Shortly after, they became professors at the National Conservatory in Athens.

Since their arrival on the international scene in 1967, Evangelos and Liza have carried out extensive tours all over the world and given hundreds of recitals at some of the most famous concert halls, including Carnegie Hall, Queen Elizabeth Hall, the Conzertgebauw, Wigmore Hall, La Theatre de la Ville and Lincoln Center. They have also performed for many radio and television stations (the BBC, Paris RTVF, Brussels, Madrid, Cologne, Berlin etc.) and taken part in major festivals in, among other places, New York, Boston, Antwerp, Rome, Amsterdam and Mexico. They usually appear as duo soloists with well known symphony orchestras such as those of Montreal, Michigan, Cincinnati and Birmingham, as well as teaching seminars and holding Master-classes at universities and academies overseas including The Juilliard School, The Royal Academy of Music, The Royal College of Music, UCLA, Stony Brook University and Mannes College of Music.

Both Greek and foreign composers have written pieces especially for Evangelos and Liza; at the same time the two musicians have enriched a rather meager guitar duo repertoire with transcriptions and arrangements for their own. They have produced several records and CDs of works for one or two guitars that are available on the EMI Classics label everywhere.

The breadth of their repertoire, their technical skill and rich interpretations, have earned an enthusiastic reception wherever they have performed, resulting to their wholehearted acceptance by the public as one of the "most exciting husband-and-wife virtuoso duos of today's musicdom."

Joseph Haydn 'Menuetto del bove' played by Anton Baranov on Classical Guitar

Biography of Classical Guitarist Anton Baranov:

In 2013, Russian classical guitarist, Anton Baranov, truly established himself as a leading guitarist by winning the Guitar Foundation of America Competition as well as over 20 other prestigious competitions between 2011 and 2013.

Mr. Baranov, known for his daring interpretations and innovative programs, has performed in distinguished halls such as Carnegie Hall in New York, Mariinsky Concert Hall in St. Petersburg, Hakuju Hall in Tokyo, and Palau de Musica in Valencia. These incredible performances have been described as “pure magic” (Cleveland Classical) as he “manages to paint beautiful sound pictures of rich depth and color with his guitar” (The Guitar).

Roland Dyens, world renown composer and guitarist, calls Anton Baranov “…a real musician, one of those rare guitarists who are able to have their attendees almost forget the instrument they play, managing to have them focus on the expressivity of the music and only this.”

Anton Baranov has recorded albums for Naxos Classical and Contrastes Records. In May of 2014, Naxos Classical released Mr. Baranov’s album “Latin American Guitar Sonatas” and his Contrastes Records album featuring Spanish guitar music has been on the market since August 2014.

Born in 1984, Anton Baranov began studying the classical guitar at age ten. He then attended the Saint-Petersburg State Rimsky-Korsakov Conservatory, the oldest and most famous Russian school of music, to complete his musical education. Mr. Baranov received a teaching position at that same school upon graduation in 2010.
