About this user

Marcos Vinicius, leading performer among the guitar players of the new generation of international concert artists, started his concert career at the age of fourteen and, since then, he has gained an increasing success of public and critics, playing in the most prestigious Brazilian and European cultural centres.

The story of his first encounter with the guitar, when he was 8, is really singular:

"...coming back from school, I always walked along the same way to go home...

One day, as my mother didn't see me at home at the usual time, worried about my unusual being late, came and looked for me, walking along my way, and suddenly she saw me, still in front of a shop window where there was a guitar hung on the wall (I remember it as if it had happened today)...The owner of the shop, seeing my mother coming, told her that I was there, my eyes fixed on that instrument, since more than an hour and he added: "Mrs...it is as if he had discovered something very precious for him".

Fortunately, at that moment, my mother realised the force of that attraction for me and, though with difficulty, she bought me my first guitar.

I still thank her, because she understood that by that present she allowed me to walk along this difficult but fantastic way."

He was only sixteen when he received the Honorary Diploma from the Cultural Department of Congonhas, a Brazilian city considered by UNESCO "World Historical Heritage" and, in 1984, he won, by common consent, the prestigious "National Villa-Lobos Musical Contest".

In 1987, he distinguished himself as the best guitarist in the master Classes held by Oscar Ghiglia and received the "Diploma of Merit" from the Chigiana Musical Academy of Siena.

Important figure during the concert seasons of the main Brazilian cities, as Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Belo Horizonte, Recife, Olinda, Belém and Florianopolis, he also performed in concerts in China (Beijing, where he has been the first guitarist in the world who played in the famous Music Hall of the China National Library, Xi'An, Weifang, Chandong and Ningbo) and in many European countries such as Italy (Rome, Milan, Naples, Turin, Bergamo, Bari), Spain (Madrid, Valencia, Irun and Girona), Finland and Turkey (at the prestigious Cemal Resit Rey Concert Hall of Istanbul). Other stages of his career took him to Austria (Klagenfurt, St. Veit, Feldikirchen), and to Poland, where he represented Brazil at the "II International Guitar Festival". Marcos Vinicius has also been guest of the prestigious International Festival of Stresa and has performed at St. John's Smith's and at Wigmore Hall in London, at Rollins College Music Hall in Orlando (Florida) and at WMCA Performing Arts in Albany, New York.

Thanks to his profound knowledge of the guitar repertoire, Marcos Vinicius is often invited to give lectures: among the most important, we remember the lecture he gave in Spitall (Austria) at the local High School of Music on the Fundamental Technique of Guitar and the lecture he gave at the Università degli Studi in Milan about "Heitor Villa-Lobos: his Work for Guitar and Brazilian Modernism". For the same reason, Marcos Vinicius has been invited to several television and radio programmes, such as Radio FM Concert in Paraguay and CCTV9 (China) "Music Stories" that has dedicated a whole night programme to his career.

Besides his intensive concert activity, Marcos Vinicius attends to important transcriptions, compositions and editing revisions of works for classical guitar that have been previously published in Italy by Rugginenti Editore and by Pongo Classica Edizioni and in England by Corda Music Publications (London), Periferia Editions (Spain) and are at present edited exclusively by Edizioni Carrara (Bergamo), that have also given him the direction of a whole collection called "Marcos Vinicius Guitar Collection".

The excellent quality of his interpretations, together with a technique of a very high standard and a sound of exceptional beauty, have attracted the attention of several composers, Paolo Colombo and Antonio Brena in Italy and Julio Borges, Claudio Tupinamba and Alexandre Pilò in Brazil, who dedicated to him works for guitar of singular value. Marcos Vinicius is also present in the exclusive Dictionary "Guitar & Players" (published by Ashley Music Co., London) that counts the most qualified guitar players in the music world.

At present, he is President of the Classical Guitar Academy in Milan.
