MILOŠ KARADAGLIĆ One of the world’s most celebrated classical gui- tarists, Miloš Karadaglić began his meteoric rise in 2011 with the release of his bestselling Deut- sche Grammophon debut Mediterraneo . He has since cultivated widespread acclaim, awards, and fans through his extensive touring, six chart topping recordings, and television appearances. Currently a Sony Classical exclusive artist, Mi- loš continually expands the repertoire for the classical guitar, such as with baroque works es- pecially transcribed and arranged for the guitar both solo and with ensembles. His 2023 album Baroque highlights this exact music, in collab- oration with Jonathan Cohen and his ensemble Arcangelo, and his latest release, The Moon and the Forest , features the world premieres of con- certos by Howard Shore and Joby Talbot. He is also at the forefront of expanding the popularity of playing classical guitar with his learning se- ries Play Guitar with Miloš , produced by Schott. A passionate advocate for music education, Miloš recently launched a foundation based in Porto Montenegro to empower artistic excel- lence though various educational opportunities, partnerships, and close mentorship. Miloš has appeared as a soloist with many of the world’s greatest orchestras, including the London and Los Angeles Philharmonics, Atlanta and Chi- cago Symphony Orchestras, Philadelphia and Cleveland Orchestras, Orquesta Nacional de España, Santa Cecilia Rome, and NHK Tokyo. Following a critically lauded solo recital in the round at Royal Albert Hall, he returned to an- other sold-out audience in June 2022. Other recent and upcoming highlights include ex- tensive tours across the UK, US, and Australia; debuts with the Frankfurt Radio Symphony, Radio France Philharmonic, and the Korean National Symphony; return performances with the Atlanta and Detroit Symphonies, Montreal’s Orchestre Métropolitain, Hallé Orchestra, and Graz and London Philharmonics; and recitals in Munich, London, and Hong Kong as well as at the Verbier, Caramoor, Gstaad, and Schleswig Holstein Music Festivals. Born in Montenegro in 1983, Miloš moved to London to study at the Royal Academy of Music at age 17. He continues to live and work in London while keeping close ties to his homeland. Miloš Karadaglić previous- ly performed at Ravinia in 2014 and 2018. RAVINIA.ORG  • RAVINIAMAGAZINE 85 CHRISTOPHKOSTLIN
