About
Giacomo Susani’s work both in the field of performance (guitar and conducting) and of composition places him into a distinctive and versatile role in the world of music. His interest in exploring the creative possibilities of his instrument allowed him to develop a personal approach to interpretation and composition that is met with enthusiasm internationally.
He is the winner of several prestigious awards, such as the New York Respighi Prize in Composition (2022) and the London International Guitar Competition (2016) . He debuted both as performer and composer at Carnegie Hall (New York) in 2024, accompanied by the Chamber Orchestra of New York. His music is performed all around the world, by such artists as the Takács Quartet, Quartetto Indaco, the Boulder Chamber Orchestra, guitarists David Russell, Stefano Grondona and Jason Vieaux.
Giacomo has recently become active as a conductor, debuting in December 2024 on the podium of the Boulder Chamber Orchestra and becoming Alessandro Cadario’s assistant in 2025. He is artistic director of the musical production of Barco Teatro in Padova, Italy as well as of the “Homenaje” Int. Guitar Festival.

[Quintet] is an extremely appealing and accessible work, full of vitality, passion, and melodic interest; and it’s clearly a wonderful showcase for both guitarist and quartet.
