Biography

Krivokapić started his music education at the age of eight through Mićo Poznanović at the Music School of Herceg-Novi (Montenegro). Soon after that, he began to perform publicly and quickly built up a reputation as a "freak of nature", which inspired the famous montenegrin poet and TV personality Dragan Radulovic to produce a documentary about him in 1993. He continued his studies at the Faculty of Music Art in Belgrade (class of S. Tošić), graduating in 2000, and further pursued them with Hubert Käppel and Roberto Aussel at the "Hochschule für Musik Köln" in Germany, where he graduated and received the "Konzertexamen" degree. During that time, he also received his master’s degree at the Conservatorium Maastricht (the Netherlands), under the tutorship of Carlo Marchione.

Goran Krivokapić did his first international competition ("Petar Konjovic" in Belgrade) in 1994. After winning it, he continued competing in the most prestigious international competitions and won a total of seventeen first prizes, making this number unique in the music world. Some of them are:

Various newspapers and music magazines wrote about him: Classical Guitar Magazine (UK), Akustik Gitarre (Germany), Gendai Guitar Magazine (Japan), Les Cahiers de la Guitare (France), Musica (Italy), Seicorde (Italy), MobilArt (Montenegro), Stampa (Italy)...

In 2005 he recorded a CD for Naxos Records, which received excellent reviews worldwide.

For his outstanding musicianship, Goran has received several honorary awards, including "The Golden Guitar" award, presented to him during the 10th International Guitar Convention in Alessandria (Italy) 2005, for the best up-and-coming guitarist. A year later (2006), he received another "Golden Guitar", this time for the best CD of the year.
