February 22, 2026 - Grisha Goryachev, Flamenco Guitar

From start to finish, guitarist Grisha Goryachev’s music was powerful and passionate—an unforgettable performance that kept the audience fully engaged from the first note to the last. We were also honored to open the program with the Chicago Community Classical Guitar Ensemble, directed by Dr. Julie Goldberg.

Just as meaningful, Grisha joined our outreach mission by visiting Curie High School, where students asked thoughtful questions and had the chance to experience live music up close.

Sincere thanks to Hubbard High School—especially Mr. Alvin James and Principal Angélica Altamirano—for welcoming us and providing the space to host this concert, and to Curie High School, especially Assistant Principal Dr. Katie Shanovich, for making the student outreach possible. A special thank-you as well to the Hubbard High School student volunteers who generously helped with setup and warmly greeted attendees at the door—you made the event run smoothly and helped everyone feel at home.
