Young guitarist shines in classical guitar competition

Srdjan Bulat a fourth year student from the Zagreb Music Academy from Split, confirmed once  again that he is known as one of the best guitar players at the European Classical Guitar Competition “Cittŕ di Gorizia” held May 15-17 in the Italian city of Gorizia. He competed in three of the toughest categories: as a soloist, member of a quartet, and as a member of a duet with a violinist.

 

He shared 3rd prize with violinist Barbara Polsek in the 8th category for guitar in combination with another instrument.  In the 7th category of guitar chamber ensemble as the first guitar in the Guitar Quartet of the Music Academy, Srdjan won first prize and in the 6th category as a soloist he won 2nd prize despite tough competition against 40 guitarists from 15 other countries.    

The importance of this competition is demonstrated by the fact that in addition to the best young European guitarist, representatives from Australia, Mexico, Korea also competed. At this year’s 6th Annual “Enrico Mercatali” competition, Bulat became the first guitarist who won awards in all three categories  with no age restrictions, as a soloist and as a member of a chamber ensemble.
