Upon graduation he was soon in demand as a soloist. Over the years, he developed a prolific recording career, covering a diverse range of repertoire, touring the world and playing with the world’s leading orchestras and conductors. A tireless champion for his instrument, MILOŠ has commissioned several significant new works for the guitar, with a particular focus on expanding the instrument’s concerto repertoire. Known for his passion for bringing classical music to the widest possible audience, MILOŠ regularly appears on radio and TV as a presenter. He takes every opportunity to support young musicians in their endeavours and is a dedicated supporter of music education.
MILOŠ (Karadaglić is his surname) continues to live and work in London. He performs on a 2007 Greg Smallman guitar.
