Fabio Zanon

Fabio Zanon is a Brazilian classical guitar virtuoso who's become one of the most respected interpreters of Latin American and Spanish guitar repertoire. Born in 1966, this São Paulo native studied at the Royal Academy of Music in London and skyrocketed to fame after winning the 1996 Francisco Tárrega Competition in Spain. His recordings – like the *Francisco Mignone's 12 Etudes for Guitar* and *Treasures from the New World* series – showcase his knack for breathing new life into Brazilian composers (Gnattali, Villa-Lobos) while mastering Spanish classics (Rodrigo, Torroba). When he's not touring or teaching masterclasses, Zanon champions Brazil's musical legacy through projects like his *Americas* album, proving he's as comfortable with fiery folk rhythms as he is with delicate nocturnes. His recent work balancing concerto collaborations (like Gnattali's "À Brasileira") with intimate solo pieces keeps cementing his status as a bridge between continents through six strings.
