World-renowned Bulgarian/Viennese violinist Bojidara Kouzmanova and Spanish classical and flamenco guitar virtuoso Virginia Luque will perform at John Brown University at 3 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 21, in the Berry Performing Arts Center.

The rarely heard combination of instruments has been drawing raves from audiences and critics wherever they perform.

Kouzmanova, a native Bulgarian, has appeared as a soloist with numerous orchestras and performed in recitals throughout Europe, Asia, Australia and South America. The winner of many international violin competitions, Kouzmanova regularly teaches different master classes all over Europe, North Africa, the United States, Asia and Australia.

Guitarist Luque plays classical and flamenco music in a Spanish-romantic style, combining technical virtuosity with beautiful tone and musicianship. She has recorded with the London Symphony Orchestra and been awarded first prize at several international competitions. She received her master's degree in Spain and then came to America where she also received a master's degree from the Juilliard School in New York City.

General admission tickets are $10 each and can be purchased at the door or reserved by calling 479-524-7382.
