Alessandro Giunta

Alessandro Giunta

He trained with Giovanni Puddu at the Accademia Musicale Chigiana in Siena and at the International Academy “Incontri col Maestro” in Imola, within the framework of the Master's Degree Courses in Guitar. In Imola, he was also able to benefit from the guidance of Marcin Dylla, Matteo Mela, Arturo Tallini, and Giulio Tampalini, as well as Alain Meunier and Marco Zuccarini for chamber music. After earning a degree in International Cooperation and Development (from the University “La Sapienza” in Rome) and an Academic Diploma in his instrument (achieved with top marks at the Conservatory of S. Cecilia, also in the capital), Alessandro, a performer with wide cultural interests, began to refine the methodological aspects for instrumental teaching and undertook a concert career that took him, both as a soloist and as a member of chamber ensembles, throughout Italy and in numerous European countries. Attention to the original guitar repertoire, the meticulous philological research on Bach's lute works, and the great interest in new music all contribute to making Alessandro Giunta an extremely eclectic musician. In his concerts, he can be heard both engaged in the interpretation of the greatest guitarist-composer of the first Viennese School, Mauro Giuliani, and in contemporary musical masterpieces with guitar, such as Pierre Boulez's “Martial without Master” or György Kurtág's “Grabstein für Stephan.” He was selected by the Accademia Internazionale Incontri con il Maestro Foundation of Imola to take part in the project Italian Young Musical Talents in the World, an initiative established in collaboration with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation and with CIDIM - Italian National Music Committee.
