| www.myspaceeditor.it BIOGRAPHY Born in Savona, Italy, in 1982, Francesca Ghilione began her guitar studies at the age of 11 with Dario Caruso. After graduating “summa cum laude” from the “Niccolò Paganini” Conservatoire in Genova at the age of 18, she furthered her studies in Switzerland with Roberto Porroni and in Italy with Maurizio Colonna in Ancona, and with Paolo Pegoraro and Stefano Viola at the Francisco Tarrega Academy in Pordenone. In 2006 she was the first candidate in her region to receive the academic Diploma (2nd level) in Guitar Interpretation and Composition under the guidance of Giuseppe Briasco and Bruno Bertone. For this diploma she presented a thesis and a concert dedicated to the guitarists of the Romantic period for which she was awarded the highest marks with distinction. Her playing has been recognized with awards at National and International Competitions. In 2000 she was selected for the “European Guitar and Mandolin Young Orchestra” In July 2001 she was chosen to participate at the V Festival “Best graduates of Italy” where in a concert at Castrocaro Terme she was voted the best Italian guitarist of 2000 year. Over the past few years she has been researching, studying and playing in her recitals the works of lesser known South American guitar-composers, assimilating their styles and techniques, recently recording her first solo guitar album "Alma Impresíones argentinas para guitarra" that got warm appreciation by Roberto Chavero, President of the "Fundación Atahualpa Yupanqui” in Argentina (and son of the great Yupanqui) who personally delivered the invitation to make a concerts tour in Argentina for the presentation of the album in the year 2008. The album also was recently released at radio stations in Argentina, Greece and Brazil and it was presented in a very successful concerts tour in Brazil in february 2008 getting as much appreciation that the Italian Embassy of Brasilia invited her to play as representation of the Italian Culture in Brazil in may 2008. She played for live broadcast to the Radio Nacional de Brasilia releasing the album "Alma" and showing his work of research on South-American music. She gives frequent concerts both as a soloist and in chamber ensembles in Italy and abroad including Switzerland, Germany, France, England, Israel and Spain. She is the solo guitarist with the Ligurian Plucked Instrument Orchestra conducted by Carlo Aonzo which has a busy performing and recording schedule (Savona, Genoa, Ferrara, Foligno, Rome - live telecast coverage from St. Pietro Square, in the presence of Pope John Paul II-Montecarlo and Italian Swizerland Radio in Lugano…). In 2004 she has collaborated with the Symphonic Orchestra of Savona during the Lyrical Summer Season. She regulary plays with a number of well known international musicians among them the harpsichordist Tiziana Canfori, with the Brazilian cellist Marjana Rutkowski (DezCordasDuo), the arpist Sara Terzano and in Trio with the German soprano Mariola Jupé and the German cellist Benjamin Grütter. This stems from her interest in proposing original and unusual musical programs and formations. She plays a guitar made by Enrico Bottelli in 2005.

Your technique is clean and pure and a joy to listen to…”(Anthony Leamy, UK guitar maker) “Se trata de una joven muy bien dotada tècnicamente con un sonido muy agradable, de mucho cuerpo y gran calidad…la madured interpretativa que le otorgaran los años la convertirán sin duda en una de las principales instrumentista del arte guitarrístico contemporáneo…”(Luís Maria Soria, Argentinian guitarist) “Your technique is sure and faultless.

Nos deleita escucharla y diría que casi diariamente en nuestra casa.No es usual escuchar una guitarra como la suya. Trataré para que Ud. pueda venir a la Argentina a regalarnos su arte." (Roberto Chavero, hijo de Atahualpa Yupanqui e Presidente de la Fundación Atahualpa Yupanqui, Argentina “Tuve el gusto de conocer a Francesca Ghilione a traves de su sitio en MySpace. Honestamente quede muy gratamente sorprendido al encontrarme en primer lugar, con una muy buena guitarrista con un gran manejo tecnico del instrumento, pero fundamentalmente con una artista sensibile...Con posterioridad al tomar contacto con ella y recebir gentilmente su cd, puede apreciar que su disco “Alma impresiones argentinas para guitarra” es mucho mas que eso, es el fruto de un minucioso trabajo de investigacion sobre la musica de nuestro Pais y sobre varios de sus principales referentes. Quien esto escribe tiene un pequeño espacio de Radio que intenta difundir y hacer conocer trabajos como el de Francesca hechos de manera absolutamente indipendente y que conciben a la musica como un hecho artistico y creativo por sobre todas las cosas. Por tal razon, espero y deseo que “Alma” tenga el reconocimiento que esta joven guitarrista se merece.” (Silvio Horacio Zudiker, “Toda La Vida Tiene Musica” Radio Program, Buenos Aires, Argentina) Influences: South-American music, Atahualpha Yupanqui, Agustin Barrios Mangoré, Ástor Piazzolla, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Baden Powell, Andrés Segovia, John Williams, David Russell, Göran Söllscher, Pavel Steidl Sounds Like: Francesca Ghilione ;-) " ...Tres tiples y tre bordonas tiene la guitarra mìa: con una lloro pasiones, con otras canto alegrìa...” "…El arte es una antorcha que usan los hombres por andar en la noche y descubrir la belleza en el camino…" (Atahualpa Yupanqui) Type of Label: None |
