On January 17, 2019, the classical guitar world lost one of its brightest young stars, when Serbian guitarist Sabrina Vlaskalic was killed in a bicycle accident in the Netherlands, where the had been living and teaching for a number of years. To honor her on the second anniversary of her passing, we offer this video of a beautiful and moving piece written by Polish composer/guitarist Gerard Drozd in memory of Sabrina, played with great feeling by a young player from Bosnia and Herzegovina (now based in Germany) named Sanel Redžić, who was a friend of Sabrina’s. —Blair Jackson
