Grisha Goryachev performs at the 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ Performing Arts Center Oct. 5.

The 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ Performing Arts Center continues its exploration of the art of the guitar with Grisha Goryachev at 7:30 p.m Friday, Oct. 5. Goryachev is reviving the tradition of solo, concert, flamenco guitar and is renowned for his musical sensitivity and virtuosity. The concert is sponsored by the Lawrence Livingston Downs Trust.

Goryachev began to play the guitar at the age of 6, studying first with his father, Dmitry, an acknowledged master teacher of the instrument. Following his debut at age 9,  Goryachev enjoyed an extensive career as a child prodigy, performing regularly before large audiences in the most prestigious concert halls of St. Petersburg, Moscow, Minsk, Riga, and other major cities in the then Soviet Union. He also appeared regularly on Soviet television and radio and was featured in numerous major newspapers and magazines.
 
Since coming to the United States, Goryachev has continued his lifelong love affair with flamenco while deepening his involvement with the classical style. His repertoire now includes classical solos, chamber music, and guitar concertos, and more than six hours of flamenco solos by accomplished composers such as Paco de Lucía, Manolo Sanlucar, Rafael Riqueni. As the flamenco repertoire is for the most part unpublished, Goryachev has performed the somewhat incredible feat of transcribing entirely by ear from the recordings.
