Oscar Ghiglia

about

Oscar Ghiglia (born 13 August 1938) is an Italian classical guitarist. Born of an artistic family - his father and grandfather were both famed painters, his mother an accomplished pianist – Oscar Ghiglia had to choose between a path strewn with brushes and colours and a world cut into harmony and melody. Though his early choice produced a few hundred water colours and a number of oil paintings, he soon realized music was his way. For this decision he thanks his father, who one day made him pose for a painting showing a guitarist. For this he had to hold his father’s guitar, a companion to his artistic musings in front of his forming works. This painting was the start to a lifetime of disciplined dedication to music. Oscar Ghiglia graduated from the ppSanta Cecilia Conservatory]] in Rome and soon began study with Andres Segovia, who was his major influence and inspiration during his formative years. Later Oscar Ghiglia “inherited” Segovia’s class in Siena’s Accademia Chigiana and spread his own teaching around the five continents in a sister vocation to his concertizing. Oscar Ghiglia founded the Guitar Department at the Aspen Music Festival (Aspen, Colorado USA) as well as the Festival de Musique des Arcs and the “Incontri Chitarristici di Gargnano”, of having been artist in residence, or visiting professor in such centers as the Cincinnati and San Francisco conservatories, the Juilliard School, the Hartt School and the Northwestern University of Evanston, Illinois.
