Artyom Dervoed: Paganini of the Guitar
THIS EVENT IS NOW SOLD OUT! THANK YOU VANCOUVER. Livestream tickets are still available.
Artyom Dervoed has been called the “Paganini of the guitar“ for his absolute mastery of the instrument evidenced by a wide dynamic range, expressive phrasing, and a technical facility with no discernible limitations. This bold claim is backed by growing international demand, an active recording career, and 16 first-place awards in international competitions starting in his teens. He’s also hugely popular on YouTube with more than a million views!
Now a regular guest on the world’s most prestigious stages, Artyom brilliantly performs the entire solo, chamber, and orchestra guitar repertoire plus his own transcriptions and world premieres of works by leading composers. He’s the founder of the Moscow Chamber Guitar Music Festival and artistic director of the Guitar Virtuosi Moscow International Festival.
