Cristiano Porqueddu - Topic

Throughout the artistic world, Cristiano Porqueddu is highly praised and recognised as one of the major interpreters of the 20th and 21st century guitar music in the contemporary scene.
Critics have labeled  him as “a reference point for the new generations of musicians”. Porqueddu began his studies by following his father’s teachings. After having obtained high marks in a specialisation course with Angelo Gilardino at the International Academy of Superior Music “Perosi”, he is now involved in an international artistic activity that encompasses concerts, discography and music composition.
Currently, he regularly performs as a soloist and in 2017 he debuted at the Carnegie Hall of New York with a concert based on a repertoire of great interest based on 20th and 21st century music. He also holds courses and conferences in Europe and in the United States, displaying innovative programs that often include world premieres. His recent Carnegie Hall recital has been defined a “triumph”.
His recording catalog is comprised of 65 CDs released by major label Brilliant Classics, which also has a worldwide distribution agreement with Porqueddu.
He currently lives in Nuoro (Sardinia), where he also teaches. Since 1998, he is the artistic director of important events dedicated to classical music.
