Milasa (singer-songwriter /classical guitarist) is a unique crossover artiste, blending classical guitar melodies with contemporary songwriting. How does she connect both of these worlds to make such a unique concert? Imagine JS Bach was a singer-songwriter and Ed Sheeran played classical masterpieces, and you get the idea of Milasa’s extraordinary talent! Her technique is excellent, her voice superb and her writing is amazing. Her way of giving equal emphasis to guitar and voice elevates the guitar from merely accompanying the songs to being an integral and equal part of her performance. Milasa performs Baroque masterpieces from JS Bach and Henry Purcell, together with legendary songs from Leonard Cohen and Simon & Garfunkel, and much more, plus exquisite originals songs by Milasa herself. Presented by Music in the Mountains.
