GUITAR CONCERTO
for guitar and orchestra
An Expressive Contemporary Guitar Concerto Masterwork
Guitar Concerto (2010) by Lior Navok is a 21½‑minute concerto for guitar and orchestra, written for Brazilian guitarist Luiz Mantovani and the Israeli Sinfonietta Beer Sheva under Doron Solomon. Structured in four interconnected movements, the work develops recurring motifs that shift in color and character, with the orchestra functioning as an extension of the guitar rather than a contrasting force. Scored for guitar solo, flutes, oboes, clarinets, bassoons, horns, percussion, harp, celesta, and strings, the concerto offers a richly textured and expressive addition to the contemporary guitar concerto and orchestra repertoire.

About the Music
The Guitar Concerto is a 21‑minute work in four interconnected movements, composed in 2010 for guitarist Luiz Mantovani. The piece grew out of a long artistic friendship and a shared curiosity about how the guitar might expand within an orchestral environment. Rather than setting the soloist against the ensemble, the concerto treats the orchestra as an extension of the guitar’s color and resonance. Recurring motifs appear throughout the movements, each transformed through shifting timbres and textures.The result is a lyrical, intimate concerto that highlights the guitar’s expressive range while weaving it seamlessly into the orchestral fabric. It is ideal for professional guitar soloists and advanced university or conservatory orchestras comfortable with contemporary coloristic writing. It serves as a strong choice for guitar‑focused concerts, contemporary concerto programs, and seasons highlighting new orchestral works.

PROGRAM NOTES
Program Notes:
The Guitar Concerto (2010) is the result of a long-standing friendship with the Brazilian guitarist Luiz Mantovani. As students in Boston, we often imagined how a new concerto for Luiz would sound. When Maestro Doron Solomon, himself an accomplished guitarist, approached me regarding a new orchestral work for the Beer Sheva Sinfonietta, the idea of a guitar concerto was enthusiastically accepted.
The concerto consists of four interconnected movements. Several motifs recur throughout the work, each treated and colored differently from one movement to the next. The orchestra, in a sense, serves as an extension of the guitar rather than a contrasting entity.
Guitar Concerto was written for Luiz Mantovani and the Israeli Sinfonietta Beer Sheva, with Doron Solomon as music director. Its commission was kindly supported by the Israel Ministry for Culture and Sport and by the Adele and John Gray Foundation.
