MIRTO, Giorgio (Italy)

Guitarist and composer, Giorgio Mirto graduated from the "L. Campiani" Conservatory of Mantova under the tutelage of Professor Maurizio Colonna. He has performed extensively in Italy, Russia, Bosnia, Japan, China, Germany, France, Portugal, Argentina and he has worked also as a music teacher in schools. He is the artistic director of Six Ways, a prestigious international guitarists exhibition which takes place in his native town: Turin.
He has begun a steady collaboration with guitarist Ermanno Bottiglieri with whom he formed the Moisycos Guitar Duo. This collaboration led to the first recording of the complete work for two guitars by J.K. Mertz (J.K. Mertz, The Complete Guitar Duos) published in Italy by the Guitart magazine and produced by the record company Gendai Guitar (Tokyo). A second CD, Night by night, containing the music of Scarlatti, Piazzolla, and the first world recording of Summer Suite for two guitars, composed by Davide Ficco and Carmelo Lacertosa, and dedicated to Moisycos Guitar Duo, has been produced by Savarez Strings and published on the Guitart International magazine in the United States and Europe. A third CD for Moisycos Edizioni Musicali (Tokyo) focused on transcriptions for two guitars of Ouvertures by Gioacchino Rossini.
As a soloist, Giorgio Mirto recorded Pensée Fugitive, rapsodia per chitarra, containing some pieces for ten-string classical guitar by J.K. Mertz, published by Edizioni Musicali Moisycos in Tokyo and another CD containing the Twelve Studies for Guitar, dedicated to Giorgio Mirto, published by Edizioni Sinfonica. A further record, Nostalgia, focused on revisited repertoire of traditional and contemporary music from Argentina, saw Mirto as an arranger and composer as well as a performer. His latest CD is M.D. Pujol, The Complete Guitar Duos, in duo with Victor Villadangos, the first world recording of the complete guitar duos by the well-known argentinian guitarist and composer.
As a composer, Giorgio Mirto is not only active with music for guitar but also with chamber music in general. His music is performed worldwide and has raised the appreciation of musicians and musicologists of relief as Victor Villadangos, Eric Franceries, Ganesh Del Vescovo, Vivaldi Guitar Trio, Massimo Delle Cese, Attilio Piovano, Máximo Diego Pujol, Altenberg Trio, Dylan Fowler, Viktor Kozlov. He has been invested in the role of tutor for the music section of the Biennial of Young European and Mediterranean Artists in 2009.
