CONCERT: Evanston SPACE presents Chicago Guitar Virtuoso Goran Ivanovic Celebrating New Album Release

Goran Ivanovic is a classically-trained Chicago-based, solo guitarist and composer whose music blends classical technique with Balkan folk influences and cinematic soundscapes. Performances by this award-winning (Acoustic Guitar Magazine), genre-defying artist move fluidly between intimate acoustic storytelling and virtuosic guitar passages performed on both classical and acoustic guitars, creating a sound that feels both timeless and contemporary.

Ivanovic's formative years were spent in war-torn Croatia. Inspired by the cross-cultural rhythms and melodies of flamenco, jazz, classical, rock and his own roots, he is one of the finest players of his generation. His concert on Sunday June 7th marks his return to the beautiful acoustics of Evanston SPACE, and will offer longtime Chicago and area fans and new audience members alike a captivating first glimpse at new material from his highly-anticipated solo record "Far Away Feeling", freshly-released in early March, 2026.

Media Quotes:

“Extraordinarily sensitive” (Los Angeles Times)

"By merging influences and sounds from Macedonia, Appalachia, Chicago, and further afield, Ivanović has built a quietly remarkable career dedicated to proving that you can uncover a whole world within your guitar strings - if you have the fingers and the imagination to find it." (Noah Berlatsky, Chicago Reader - 2026)
