Vincenzo Giura was born in 1984 in Italy. He owes his musical formation to Fernando Di Modugno and to Stefano Grondona, graduating in Bari and Vicenza. He later studied with Paolo Pegoraro in Graz and Paul Galbraith in Basel. Of particular signifi cance to him was the experience, for about a decade, of the summer courses held by Oscar Ghiglia at the Accademia Musicale Chigiana of Siena, at fi rst as a listener and later as a scholarship student. He has given concerts as a soloist and in chamber music ensembles, frequently taking part in different guitar duo formations. Among others, he wishes to mention Cristina Lyssimachou, Vahur Kubja, Petra Polackova and Babak Babaie. His own transcriptions have always formed a big part of his repertoire. From 2011 to 2016 Vincenzo was teaching Guitar at the Conservatorio Santa Cecilia in Rome. He is currently Guitar Professor at the Conservatorio Nino Rota of Monopoli.
