Daniele Gottardo

Italian guitarist and composer, Daniele Gottardo, has been recognized not just only for his virtuosity and versatility, but for the sophistication of his compositions, which blend electric guitar and chamber orchestra. 

He has performed in guitar festivals all over the world, including Malibu Guitar Festival (USA), Guitare En Scene (France), Ziua Chitarelor (Romania), Jason Becker Not Dead Yet Festival (Holland), Eddie Lang Jazz Festival (Italy).

Daniele is a passionate educator with more of 20 years of experience.
