International Guitar Competition Winner Dylla to Perform at EKU March 26

Marcin Dylla, international guitar competition winner, will perform at Eastern Kentucky University, his last stop before his Carnegie Hall debut.

The concert, sponsored by Eastern Kentucky University Department of Music, Division of Guitar Studies, Guitar Society and the D’Addario Strings, will be held in EKU’s Gifford Theater on Tuesday, March 26 at 8 p.m. Tickets will be $20 general admission, $15 for senior citizens and $10 for students with a valid ID.

Richard Storm, writing for the Sarasota Herald Tribune (Fla.) said: “‘Incredible’ is a word used far too frequently these days, but Polish guitarist Marcin Dylla restored the meaning of the word in an absolutely stunning concert. Large-scale, challenging compositions for solo guitar are not heard often, certainly not performed at this level of seemingly effortless technique and intense artistry. It was clear from the outset that we were hearing a major talent performing music of serious proportions with both impressive technique and deeply musical interpretive skill.”
