Hristo Vitchev and Kremona Guitars

Kremona North America is very pleased to add emerging Jazz guitar star Hristo Vitchev to its constellation of artists.

 Referred by the media as one of the newest and most innovative voices in modern jazz guitar, Impressionistic chamber jazz guitarist/composer Hristo Vitchev's music has captivated audiences all around the globe. At age 33 he has already released 6 critically acclaimed albums as a leader plus two more releases as a co-leader.

 Bulgarian born, Mr. Vitchev now resides in the San Francisco Bay Area, not far from Kremona’s North American offices.  Kremona has been handcrafting guitars and viols in Bulgaria since 1924.

 “It’s a perfect fit,” said Kremona’s Nick Iliev. “Hristo is an amazing musician. We’re excited to see Hristo share the beauty and charm of nylon-string guitar with jazz audiences.”

 "I love my Kremona Fiesta F65CW,” Hristo added. “ From the design, craftsmanship, sound and feel, everything is first class. It provides me with the perfect balance of comfort, playability, and sophistication in tone needed to be able to express the most complex and multi-hued emotions in my music. I am honored and proud to represent Kremona as artist.”
