The Annual Russian 7-string Guitar Festival (IARGUS) is celebrating its 10th anniversary! This is the only festival in the world dedicated to the revival of the Russian 7-string guitar tradition.
Once again, IARGUS will bring new excellent musicians as well as familiar favorites. There will be exciting virtuosic music for the Russian 7-string Guitar -- both classical and in the Russian Gypsy style. Iowa City favorite Vadim Kolpakov will be back. Brilliant performer Maxim Lysov will be joining us from Germany for the first time. The amazing Klezmer Duo Controverso from Chicago, which captivated audiences last year, will be part of the festival again. Versatile guitarist Igor Golger (from Moscow via Japan and now from Boston) will be joining us for the first time, together with his wife and duet partner Hiroko Hajimoto, who will perform music for Japanese Flute for us. And much more!
