ANTIGONI GONI

Picture
 Universally praised for her profound artistic sensitivity, her exquisite sound and for her unmatched      palette of colours and dynamics, the Greek guitarist Antigoni Goni is internationally acclaimed as a    true ambassador of the guitar and a sought-after pedagogue.

 Since 1991 she has performed in concert halls including the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, the  Wigmore Hall in London, the Odeon of Herodes Atticus in Acropolis (Athens) as well as the    Philharmonic and the Cappella Sale in St. Petersburg, the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow, and Carnegie  Hall in New York.

In 1995 Antigoni Goni added to an already long list of competition prizes the first prize of the prestigious “Guitar Foundation of America Competition”, thus becoming the first Greek (and, to present, the only) to ever win it.

For her International achievements, the Royal Academy of Music in London awarded her with the honorary title of Associate Professor (ARAM).
​
Since 2005 Antigoni Goni has been Professor of Guitar at the Royal Conservatory in Brussels (Koninklijk Conservatorium Brussel) and a member of its Artistic Committee. In April 2015, the Royal Conservatory named her “Professor of the year” making her the youngest professor ever presented with the “Madame de la Hault” prize, awarded by the Brussels Royal Conservatory’s “Patrimonium”.
