\u201c\u2026Duki\u0107 is, without exaggeration, one of the best guitarists of today and one of the greatest musicians Croatia has ever had\u2026 Breathless virtuosity, fascinating levels of dynamics, astounding beauty and clarity of tone and unbelievable concentration and focus as he dives into the depths of the spirit of the music, bringing back to us its metaphysical dimension disguised and cloaked in sound.\u201d -ZAREZ, Croatia<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zoran Dukic is one of the most distinguished classical guitarists of our time. His concert performances, both as a soloist or with an orchestra, leave long-lasting impressions on both audiences and critics.
He graduated from the Music Academy of Zagreb with Darko Petrinjak and completed his studies with Hubert K\u00e4ppel at the Hochschule f\u00fcr Musik in Cologne.
In his \u201ctour de force\u201d competition years (1990-1997) Zoran Dukic has won an astonishing number of competitions. He is the only guitarist to have won both \u201cAndr\u00e9s Segovia\u201d competitions, in Granada and in Palma de Mallorca. Showing astounding mastery in a wide variety of musical periods and styles he has also won competitions dedicated to \u201cFernando Sor\u201d, \u201cManuel Ponce\u201d, \u201cManuel de Falla\u201d, \u201cFrancisco T\u00e1rrega\u201d among others. In the greatest Spanish guitar competition in Madrid, patronized by the Royal Family, he was awarded,in addition to the first prize, the special prize for the best interpretation of Spanish music (first time awarded to a non-Spaniard).Though he considers the music by J. S. Bach is still the focal point of his musical life, he has inspired numerous composers to dedicate their works to him. His premieres of new music are strengthened by his admiration of contemporary musical expression. His programs include new works by Takemitsu, Henze, Reily, Carter or Gubaidulina among many others.
He enjoys a special affinity for Spanish and South American musical idiom, the core repertoire of classical guitar. Currently, his carefully balanced programs present a range of music from Bach to Britten, from Sor to Alb\u00e9niz, from T\u00e1rrega to Villa-Lobos and Brouwer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
