Product details
"Rouge Guitar was made in four sessions and the DVD was recorded
within three hours. I didn't want magic effects, just the purity
of the music to shine through, along with breathing and creaking
chairs. It is what makes the recording special." Milica Ilic,
2005
Milica Ilic [pronounced Mel-itza Ill-itch] is a classical
guitarist who plays a living music that's vibrant, colourful,
impassioned and her own. In 2002, when she was just 20 years old,
Milica's dazzling musicality and alluring stage presence led to
an invitation from the great tenor José Carreras to participate
in his birthday celebration concert at Angkor Wat temple in
Cambodia. Her performance on that occasion, as on many others
since then, was warmly received and critically acclaimed.
Milica is a skilled interpreter of the standard classical
repertoire, yet from an early age she has understood that
technique is far more than merely a means to replicate familiar
material. For Milica technique is a key that unlocks expression,
connecting the performance of music to our shared and varied life
of sensations and emotions, to memories and aspirations. Now in
her mid-twenties she already has a wealth of vivid experience to
draw upon in her creative life. From that springs music that's
fiery and beautiful, tender, uplifting and intimate.
Milica has toured extensively in Australia, Asia and Europe. In
2005 she performed at international guitar festivals in Darwin,
Ullapool, Kirkmichael and Ards. She also featured as special
guest at a festival in Windsor, UK, hosted by Tommy Emmanuel,
Australia's premier guitarist. In 2003 she took up an invitation
to perform as guest soloist at "An Unforgettable Evening - José
Carreras in Concert' in Perth, Western Australia. The previous
year Milica had accompanied José Carreras in Singapore, as well
as at Angkor Wat, and was a featured soloist with the Singapore
Symphony Orchestra.
