FEBRUARY 2013 Grisha Goryachev - Our first flamenco guitarist at Three Stages was once a 10-year-old prodigy dazzling Russian television audiences and now is a mature touring artist with lightning speed and a mission to share his interpretations of the great masters of flamenco. A native speaker in Russian, he delighted Russian speaking school students at Mills Middle School, where a good 20% speak the language, as he briefly addressed them in their native tongue, as demonstrated to a pack auditorium what can be done on the guitar. See our Appreciation Gallery for some letters and reactions to his Sacramento visit.
