Ana Vidović will perform the 2025 John and Trudy Watson Classical Guitar Series concert at Arkansas Tech University on Thursday, Sept. 25.
The concert will begin at 7:30 p.m. in Witherspoon Auditorium, 407 West Q Street in Russellville. Admission will be free and open to the public. The event is sponsored by the John and Trudy Watson Annual Classical Guitar Series Endowment and the ATU Department of Music.
Vidović is from the small town of Karlovac near Zagreb, Croatia. She started playing guitar at the age of 5 and, at age 13, became the youngest student to attend the National Musical Academy in Zagreb. Her reputation in Europe led to an invitation to study at the Peabody Conservatory, from which she graduated.
Her career has included performances in European cultural destinations such as Amsterdam, Brussels, Budapest, Copenhagen, London, Oslo, Paris, Rome, Salzburg, Vienna, Warsaw and Zagreb as well as performances around the globe in Australia, Brazil, Israel, Japan, Korea and Mexico.
This will be Vidović’s third appearance at the John and Trudy Watson Classical Guitar Series at Arkansas Tech University. She previously performed at ATU in 2014 and 2015.
Vidović appears by exclusive arrangement with Diane Saldick LLC, 225 E. 36th St., New York, N.Y.
The annual classical guitar concert at ATU is made possible through the generosity of Dr. John W. Watson, distinguished professor of mathematics and former vice president for academic affairs at ATU, and his wife, Trudy.
Those wishing to provide additional support for the series may do so with gifts to the Arkansas Tech University Foundation by calling (479) 968-0400.
