Zorya Guitar Duo

Zorya Guitar Duo was founded in 2014 in Croatia when Borna and Antonio were studying at the music high school in Varazdin. As a duo they have performed in venues in Croatia and have participated in several regional competitions.

Antonio Peršak started playing classical guitar at the age of six, and his formal musical education began at the age of nine when he began attending a music school in Croatia and then continued to study classical guitar at a secondary music school. He is currently studying his undergraduate degree at the Royal Northern College of Music. As a performing guitarist, he has successfully participated and won prizes in a number of international competitions and although his studies are primarily related to classical music, he also has an interest in playing and performing different styles and genres of music.

Borna Kuća was born in 1995 in Varazdin, Croatia. Inspired by his father, he started playing classical guitar at the age of nine at the prestigious Varazdin School of Music. He subsequently gained considerable experience as a soloist and chamber musician after participating in a number of music competitions in Croatia, Slovenia, Italy and Serbia where he won first and second prizes, both as a soloist and as a part of the guitar duo.  He took masterclasses with many renowned classical guitarists. Borna is currently an undergraduate student at the Royal Northern College of Music.
