Kontrapunktus Presents The Londoners: An English Baroque Salute

St Ambrose Catholic Church

Experience the artistry of Miloš, a Montenegro-born classical guitarist who is redefining the genre with his innovative approach and profound musicality. Recognized by BBC Music Magazine as one of the Six of the Best Classical Guitarists of the Past Century, Miloš has captivated audiences worldwide with his thrilling virtuosity and deeply meditative performances. His repertoire spans baroque and baroque-inspired compositions, offering a unique interpretation that breathes new life into timeless pieces. 

Miloš's career skyrocketed with the release of his best-selling debut album, Mediterraneo, and he has since continued to enchant listeners through extensive touring, chart-topping recordings, and television appearances. Now an exclusive artist with SONY Classical, his latest album, Baroque, showcases a carefully curated selection of baroque works transcribed and arranged for the guitar, both solo and in collaboration with Jonathan Cohen and his ensemble Arcangelo. 

In addition to his passion for classical repertoire, Miloš is dedicated to expanding the guitar's horizons with new music. His recent release, The Moon and the Forest, features world premiere concerti by Howard Shore and Joby Talbot. Over the past decade, Miloš has played a pivotal role in the resurgence of classical guitar's popularity, inspiring a new generation of guitarists through his Schott’s Play Guitar with Miloš series.

Miloš has performed as a soloist with some of the world's most prestigious orchestras, including the London and LA Philharmonics, Atlanta Symphony, and the Philadelphia Orchestra. His sold-out solo recital at the Royal Albert Hall was a critical sensation, and he continues to perform at major venues and festivals globally. A passionate advocate for music education, Miloš supports numerous charities and recently launched the Miloš Karadaglić Foundation to empower young musicians.
