Mislav Režić is one of Croatia’s most prominent classical guitarists, celebrated for his rich international career as both a soloist and chamber musician. His versatile artistry, spanning period and modern instruments — including the electric guitar — allows him to collaborate across genres and with diverse ensembles. Passionate about contemporary music, he frequently commissions and premieres new works, expanding the guitar’s repertoire. Several composers, including Vlado Sunko, Nikoleta Chatzopoulou, Michalis Paraskakis, and Sofia Avramidou, have dedicated solo pieces to him.

Režić is a founding member of the ensembles Machetes (Netherlands) and Tetttix (Greece), both dedicated to contemporary music. He has performed with leading artists such as percussionists Pepe Garcia and Diego Espinosa, harpsichordist Cvetanka Sozovska, mezzo-soprano Tanja Šimić, soprano Georgia Balabini, baritone Jussi Lehtipuu, violinist Laura Vadjon, flutists Antigoni Tsalla and Gregor Schulenburg, and saxophonists Gordan Tudor and Guido de Flaviis. His concerts have taken him to major venues and festivals across Europe, Africa, and North America, including Split Summer, Korkyra Baroque, Smash Salamanca, Bridges, Tectonics, Athens and Epidaurus Festival, Eleusis European Capital of Culture 2023, Time of Music (Viitasaari, Finland), the Greek National Opera, Onassis Cultural Center, St. Peter’s Cathedral (Rabat, Morocco), The Knoll at Stanford University, the Center for New Music in San Francisco, and the European Parliament in Brussels.

A graduate of the Academy of Arts in Split, Režić went on to earn Master’s degrees from the Royal Conservatory in The Hague and the Conservatory of Maastricht. He is the winner of numerous awards, including the Croatian Society of Music Prize (2003) and first prizes at international competitions in Zwolle (2002) and Enschede (2007).

As co-founder and artistic director of the chamber music festival Musical Evening at St. Jerome’s in Kaštela, Croatia, he curates its international summer guitar course. His debut album Auburn (DNA label, 2017) presents a wide-ranging program of contemporary works for guitar. In duo with saxophonist Gordan Tudor, he was awarded the Concert Hall Ivo Tijardović – Hrvatski dom Split Prize for the 2023/24 season, leading to an artist-in-residence engagement for 2024/25 at Concert Hall Split. Their first album, featuring contemporary Croatian repertoire, was released in May 2025 by HDS – Cantus.
