“among the most gifted guitarists on the planet” —Washington Post
Hailed by the Washington Post as “among the most gifted guitarists on the planet,” Marcin Dylla is a rare phenomenon in the recent history of classical guitar. He has earned top prizes at the most prestigious international music competitions worldwide, including the gold medal at the Guitar Foundation of America’s international competition. Dylla has received critical acclaim for his recital recordings, which have been recognized on Naxos’s “Top 10 Bestselling Albums” list; in 2010, he earned a Fryderyk Award nomination for his live recital DVD, Wawel Royal Castle at Dusk. Dylla made his Concertgebouw recital debut in November 2016 and has toured extensively across the globe, with recent highlights including performances at Taipei’s National Concert Hall, Vienna’s Kozerthaus, and New York’s Carnegie Hall. Apart from his guest performances at virtually every major European and North American guitar festival, he has been regularly invited to appear at the Don Quixote Music Festival (France), Burghofspiele Eltville (Germany), Central European Music Festival (Lithuania), and Festival Internacional de Música (Toledo, Italy).
