Joseph Malvinni, Guitar
Joseph Malvinni, age thirteen from Santa Barbara, began classical guitar studies at age four with his father. Already a virtuoso player, he has honed his performance level in masterclasses throughout the US and Europe, including the Chigiana (Siena, Italy), Mozarteum (Salzburg, Austria), and Boston GuitarFest. He has played for some of the world’s greatest living maestros of the instrument, including Eliot Fisk, Leo Brouwer, Oscar Ghiglia, Manuel Barrueco, Meng Su, Benjamin Verdery, and Joaquin Clerch. Joseph enjoys the thrill of competing, and in 2021 was a winner for the Santa Barbara Youth Symphony Concerto Competition, first prize at the Latin American Guitar Festival, second prize at the Performing Arts Scholarship Foundation, and past distinctions include placing as a finalist at GFest and the Parkening Competition. Currently Joseph has the privilege of musical mentorship and career guidance of the renowned virtuoso Eliot Fisk (NEC, Mozarteum).
