They are two of Chicago’s finest guitarists. Fareed Haque and Goran Ivanovic play classical guitars, and the music they make is a melting pot of styles.
Their adventurous musical blend is deeply rooted: Haque, a Chicagoan by birth, has a Pakistani father and a mother from Chile; while Ivanovic was born in Croatia to a Serbian father and a Bosnian Croat mother.
For their first appearance together on “Chicago Tonight,” the virtuosos preview their Friday night concert at Space in Evanston.
