Guitar Virtuoso Goran Ivanovic Celebrates New Album Release in Milwaukee

Goran Ivanovic is a classically-trained Chicago-based, solo guitarist and composer whose music blends classical technique with Balkan folk influences and cinematic soundscapes. Performances by this award-winning (Acoustic Guitar Magazine), genre-defying artist move fluidly between intimate acoustic storytelling and virtuosic guitar passages performed on both classical and acoustic guitars, creating a sound that feels both timeless and contemporary.

Ivanovic's formative years were spent in war-torn Croatia. Inspired by the cross-cultural rhythms and melodies of flamenco, jazz, classical, rock and his own roots, he is one of the finest players of his generation. His concert on Friday March 20th in the beautiful acoustics of The Sanctuary at Grace Evangelical Lutheran Church marks his return after his last Milwaukee performance 5 years ago, and will offer longtime fans and new audience members alike a captivating first glimpse at new material from his highly-anticipated solo record "Far Away Feeling", freshly-released in early March, 2026.
