My journey in music is marked by rigorous training, notable performances, and a commitment to enrich every event with the refined sound of classical guitar. Why I Perform Music: Music is more than a profession for me —it's a Calling. From a young age, I was drawn to the expressive power of the classical guitar, a poignant medium for conveying inner emotions and narratives. Performing allows me to forge deep connections with audiences, creating moments of beauty and reflection. Each performance is an opportunity to evoke emotions and provide a musical escape, aiming to breathe life into every note for a resonant audience experience.

Refice in Frosinone, Italy, where I graduated summa cum laude. I studied under revered professors like S. Palamidessi, E. Baranzano and A. Pace who refined my technical abilities and enriched my interpretive skills. I have also participated in specialized training across Europe, including significant guidance from luminaries such as Goran Krivokapic and Adriano Del Sal. These experiences have sharpened my technique and deepened my musical insight. Performing Highlights: My performance career features diverse highlights, showcasing my versatility and ability to engage with audiences profoundly. I have performed at prestigious venues and festivals throughout Europe, from intimate settings to grand theaters. Notable performances include the “International Guitar Festival in Castrocielo”, Italy, and the “Festival Internacional de Pulso y Púa” in Spain. My aim in each event is to not only demonstrate musical expertise but also to create an immersive experience for the audience. Teaching and Sharing Music: Beyond performing, I am passionate about educating and spreading the love for classical guitar. I teach at the Scherzo Music School in Estella, Spain, and provide online lessons globally. My teaching philosophy emphasizes making music education accessible and enriching, customized to meet the unique needs of each student, helping them discover their musical voice. Personality and Professionalism: My approach to music is defined by respect, passion, and a pursuit of excellence. Known for meticulous preparation, I carefully select each repertoire and keenly understand venue acoustics to ensure performances are not just heard but deeply felt. My interactions with event organizers, students, and audiences are marked by professionalism and warmth, making every musical engagement as harmonious as the compositions I perform. In conclusion, my role as a classical guitarist transcends mere performance—it's about crafting an unforgettable musical narrative that captivates and delights. Through soaring melodies and intricate harmonies, I strive to make each performance a testament to the transformative power of classical guitar, enhancing events and touching lives through the universal language of music.
