SUSANI Giacomo

Giacomo Susani’s work both in the field of performance and of composition places him into a unique and versatile role in the world of music. His interest in exploring the creative possibilities of his instrument allowed him to develop a personal approach to interpretation that is met with enthusiasm internationally. 

Among many awards of international calibre the New York Respighi Prize in Composition (2022) stands out, alongside a Julian Bream Trust Scholarship, which allowed him to work in close contact with legendary guitarist Julian Bream from 2014 to 2018.

As a guitarist he enjoys a busy concert schedule and, as a composer, his music has been played and recorded all around the world. His composition career was launched by performances of his music by such artists as Grammy Award winners David Russell and Jason Vieaux and Creu de Sant Jordi awardee Stefano Grondona.

Giacomo is a member of the guitar faculty of the Royal Academy of Music in London, is artistic director of the “Homenaje” International Guitar Festival (Padova) and co-artistic director and teacher of the Errante Guitar Course in Italy.

He studied guitar with Stefano Grondona in Italy and Micheal Lewin in England, composition with Michele Brugnaro, Francesco Antonioni and Stephen Goss.
