Antigoni Goni

Internationally acclaimed for her profound artistry, exquisite sound, and unique palette of colors and dynamics, Greek guitarist Antigoni Goni is celebrated as a true ambassador of the classical guitar and a highly sought-after pedagogue.

Her international performing and recording career flourished in the mid-1990s after winning the prestigious Guitar Foundation of America Competition. Since then, she has appeared as a soloist and chamber musician in some of the world's leading venues, including the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, Wigmore Hall in London, the Odeon of Herodes Atticus at the Acropolis in Athens, the Philharmonic and Cappella Halls in St. Petersburg, and Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall in New York, among many others.

Goni's recordings for Naxos, Koch, and Timespan Records have been lauded as "expressively poetic and technically exciting," garnering enthusiastic praise from critics and audiences alike. Her recent multimedia work Medio Siglo: The Art and Sound of José Luis Romanillos and her recording with the Volterra Project Trio, Parole in Musica, have been described as "monumental" and "imaginative."

In addition to her performing career, Antigoni Goni is deeply committed to music education. She is the founder of the Guitar Department at the Juilliard Pre-College Division in New York and an Honorary Associate of the Royal Academy of Music in London. She is also the founder and artistic director of the Volterra Project Summer Guitar Institute in Italy.
