Pierluigi Clemente

Born in Udine in 1994, Pierluigi Clemente started his classical guitar studies at the age of nine with M° Marcella Colella, then he continued with M° Adriano del Sal, M° Iuris Gambini and M° Paolo Pegoraro.
In 2008 he enrolled in the music Conservatory “ Jacopo Tomadini” in Udine, where he has been studying with prof. Stefano Viola and where he graduated with the maximum score, praise and honourable mention in june 2016.
Actually he’s attending the “Biennio specialistico di II° livello a indirizzo concertistico” (Master in performing Arts) at the music Conservatory “Antonio Vivaldi” in Alessandria with M° Frédéric Zigante and he’s attending M° Stefano Viola’s master classes at the guitar school center “El maestro” in Treviso as well.
He took part in various masterclasses of important guitarists (like Solo Duo Lorenzo Micheli & Matteo Mela, Stefano Grondona, Oscar Ghiglia, Frédéric Zigante, Paolo Cherici and many others) and he won different competitions and prizes in Italy and abroad; above all, of particular importance was the assignation, as reward due to his competence and skills, of one of the four scholarships for the classical guitar from the “Premio Abbado” 2015, reserved to the best students of the Italian Conservatories.
In collaboration with the Conservatory of Udine, he played concerts for different associations and music clubs of the territory, both as soloist and as a member of chamber music groups, with experiences in the opera and contemporary repertoire as well.
His personal guitar was made by the luthier Luigi Locatto from Turin; recently he’s also interested in philological performances with historical instruments and for this reason he has bought and plays, during his performances, an historical guitar made in the 19th century by the famous French school of Mirecourt.
