Luiz Mantovani

A winner of the Pro Musicis International Award (New York, 2001), Luiz Mantovani has appeared in some of the most important concert venues of his native Brazil and abroad. His performance of Walton’s Five Bagatelles in Weill Hall/Carnegie Hall was described by The New York Times as “powerful, beautifully shaped and just practically flawless”. An active chamber musician, since 2004 Luiz is a member of the Brazilian Guitar Quartet, with which he recorded three CDs, including the 2011 Latin Grammy winner “BGQ plays Villa-Lobos”. In 2016, he founded the NOVA Guitar Duo with his wife Nelly von Alven, with which he recently released the CD “Sortilegios” for the Italian label Stradivarius. At ease both in the performance and research fields, in 2019 he earned a PhD from the Royal College of Music in London by investigating the chamber sonatas of Austrian composer Ferdinand Rebay. The first guitarist to receive an Artist Diploma from the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston, Luiz Mantovani also holds a Master’s degree from NEC and a Bachelor’s degree from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro. His guitar teachers were David Leisner, Nicolas Barros and Antônio Guedes. Since 2003, he teaches guitar and chamber music at the State University of Santa Catarina, in Florianopolis, Brazil.
