Italian guitarist Giuseppe Buscemi, Naxos artist and winner of international competitions, performed concert tours throughout Europe and the USA, invited by renowned concert associations and presenters to perform in notable concert halls, including his debut at Carnegie’s Weill Recital Hall. Eager to explore and expand the possibilities of his instrument in chamber music settings, he has performed with renowned musicians such as Gianni Bicchierini, Leonardo Augello, Andrea Quartarone, CY Leo, and the BlackBox Ensemble. His repertoire ranges from the Baroque era to the latest contemporary works, both in solo and chamber music for classical and electric guitar. His fourth and latest CD, named “Transcendence”, shows a unique program of pieces arranged by Giuseppe for his harmonica-and-guitar duo with CY Leo. All his albums have received high critical praise from music magazines, such as American Record Guide, Yorkshire Post, Guitare Classique, Gitarre & Laute, and SeiCorde, and have been broadcast on radio stations such as RAI Radio 3, Radio Vaticana, and Emisora del Sur. Giuseppe is a faculty member of renowned music schools in Manhattan, and has also been teaching from 2013 to 2019 in Italian Conservatories and music schools. He is currently a candidate for the Doctorate of Musical Arts at the Manhattan School of Music in New York, where he also works as teaching assistant on the guitar faculty, and is a student of David Leisner. Giuseppe plays a Guido Di Lernia guitar.
