Goran Krivokapić (1979) jedan je od vodećih gitarista nove, mlade generacije na međunarodnoj sceni klasične gitare. Razlozi za ovo nisu samo njegova tehnička virtuoznost, koja postavlja nove standarde, već i njegova karakteristična interpretacija starog i novog repertoara.
Osim osvajanja osamnaest međunarodnih takmičenja, dobitnik je i nagrade na godišnjoj Međunarodnoj konvenciji gitare u Alesandriji (Italija): 2005. kao najbolji mladi gitarista godine i 2006. za njegov prvi CD, nagradu za najbolji CD godine.
U 14. godini osvojio je svoje prvo takmičenje, ali je prodor napravio 2004. kao pobednik dva najprestižnija takmičenja u Severnoj i Južnoj Americi (GFA u Montrealu) i dr Luis Sigall (Međunarodno takmičenje u Čileu). Od tada je nastupao širom sveta kao solista u najprestižnijim dvoranama u Amsterdamu, Moskvi, Beču, Madridu …
Kao umetnik, predavač i član žirija, čest je gost na mnogim međunarodnim festivalima i univerzitetima.
Njegov muzički fokus je na razvoju novih radova za klasičnu gitaru, uglavnom kroz svoje transkripcije baroknih i klasična dela, ali i saradnju sa savremenim kompozitorima.
Od 2010. predaje na prestižnoj Koblenc akademije, u kojoj učenici dobijaju priliku da završe postdiplomske studije u njegovoj klasi.
Goran Krivokapić (1979), is one of the leading guitarists of the new, young international guitar scene. The reasons for this are not only his technical virtuosity, which sets new standards, but also his characteristical interpretation of old and new repertoire.
Apart from winning eighteen international competitions, he received several awards at the annual International Guitar Convention in Alessandria, Italy: 2005 as the best young guitarist of the year and 2006 for his debut CD, Best CD of the Year.
At age of 14 he won his first competition, but his breakthrough came in 2004 as winner of the two most prestigious guitar competitions in North and South America (Guitar Foundation of America in Montreal, Canada, and Dr. Luis Sigall International Competition of Musical Performance in Viña del Mar, Chile). Since then he has performed all over the world and plays as a soloist in the most prestigious halls such as the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, the Tchaikovsky Hall in Moscow, Lubkowitz Palace in Vienna, Auditorio Conde Duque in Madrid…
As an artist, lecturer and adjudicator, he is a frequent guest at many international festivals and universities.
His musical focus is on the development of new works for classical guitar, mainly through making his own transcriptions from the Baroque and Classical works, but also collaborating with contemporary composers.
Since 2010 he is working as a lecturer at the prestigious Koblenz International Guitar Academy, in which students get the opportunity to complete a post-graduate course of studies in his class.
