Armin Abdihodžic

Thought of as one of the modern premiere Bosnian classical guitarists, Spenard Jazz Fest is happy to welcome Armin Abdihodžic into our midst. When he isn't playing around town or leading private lessons, Armin is Assistant Professor of Guitar at UAA right here in Anchorage. In fact, one of his former students, Mischa Shimek, just performed during Week 1 of this year's SJF. Abdihodžic has won countless awards across the world, from Bosnia to Texas and beyond. He might be local, but as with ALL of our Alaska acts, don't sleep on this set. 
 

Shows (all times AKT):
FREE | May 26th @ 12 PM - Guitar Workshop w/ Mark Manners
May 30th @ 7 PM (+ John Damberg Latin Jazz Quintet)

Support our 2020 Artists!

Unlike many other festivals in Alaska, it is in our mission to pay our national, international, and most importantly LOCAL artists! ALL of them. Also - we help each other out. If you want to help perpetuate this proud tradition, join Spenard Jazz Fest as a MEMBER and/or Donate to the SJF Artist Relief Fund, aimed at helping artists who have lost all of their income for the foreseeable future due to the COVID-19 crisis.

Want to know more or stay in touch? Drop us your email! 

Thanks for being a part of and believing in SJF and its mission!
