About

It's about the Touch Productions is the independent production company of classical guitarist Irina Kulikova. She publishes her own audio and video recordings as well as tutorials under this name. Next to that, she publishes the repertoire of a small circle of composers. In much of the sheet music published by It's about the Touch Productions, Irina Kulikova adds a professional fingering to help fellow guitarists shape the most beautiful sound and phrasing.

One of the most distinctive voices in classical guitar today, internationally acclaimed for the extraordinary beauty of her tone and the rare emotional connection of her performances. She has appeared at leading festivals and concert halls across Europe, Asia, and the Americas, including Amsterdam’s Concertgebouw, Tokyo’s Musashino Hall, and the Shanghai Oriental Arts Center. In a world shaped by AI, speed, and digital distraction, her performances offer something increasingly rare: a sense of stillness.

Passing on the Art of Sound

Beyond her performances, Irina Kulikova is a guiding presence for guitarists worldwide. A dedicated mentor, she shares her artistry through masterclasses that explore sound as a space of attention and stillness.

“With the guitar held against the body, sound becomes direct and tangible. Touch is where musical imagination becomes sound, when movement, breath, attention, and inner hearing come together.”

Whether exploring Bach, Sor, Debussy, Albéniz, Barrios, or contemporary repertoire, she encourages students to cultivate an individual artistic voice and a more attentive way of listening: more honest, more focused, and more deeply connected to the musical imagination of great composers.
