With over ten years’ experience, Daniele Piroddi is an accomplished classical guitarist from Italy who now lives and works in London. Over the years he focused on the study of the sounds and timbres of the classical guitar. He believes that the timbre of the sound of a music instrument can bring the audience to immerse themselves in a world where colours can be heard and sounds can be seen. This has had a big impact on his work and repertoire. His work focused on western early music with a touch of modern and contemporary repertoire.

Daniele graduated with a Master’s Degree with 110 cum laude with a Special Mention in Classical Guitar in 2018 from Modena Conservatory with Maestro Andrea Dieci. His thesis entitled ‘Royal Winter Music; Sounds and Colours in an Imaginary theatre’ focused on the work of first Sonata for solo guitar by Hans Werner Henze based on Shakespearean characters.
