Big Island Music
Touted as a “gifted guitarist” by the New York Times, 4-time Grammy®-nominated artist Mak Grgic [GER-gich] is a star on the worldwide stage. An expansive and adventurous repertoire attests to his versatility and wide-ranging interests. From the ethnic music of his native Balkans to extreme avant-garde and microtonal music, his roles as soloist, collaborator, and Grammy-nominated recording artist are fueled by curiosity, imagination, and boundless energy. As a testament to his versatility and wide-ranging appeal, in 2018 Mak was invited by legendary singer-songwriter k.d. lang to perform as the opening act for the North American leg of her Ingénue Redux Tour.
NEW MUSIC
Six String Odyssey
OUT NOW!
Mak’s debut with Six String Symphony results in the release of a new album Six String Odyssey, a collaboration with amazing musicians and friends Vivian Fang Liu, Tess Remy-Schumacher, Russ Hewitt, Giovanni Piacentini and Gretchen Menn, recorded at Abbey Road with the London Symphony Orchestra.
If an odyssey is a long, eventful, and wandering journey, then Six String Symphony does it's very best at capturing musically all the twists and turns, highs and lows, of such an expedition across genres and themes, including crowd favorites such as Spanish Romance, Bach's Toccata, Albeniz's Asturias, and a few originals by the group.

Music is Language
I think of music as a language of all. I like to conceive of my repertoire as a themed journey for every listener of any age or demographic to be able to relate and enjoy.
