Biography

I began studying music at the Conservatoire de Musique in Marseilles and later continued my education at the Conservatoire Maurice Ravel in Paris. After that, I studied at HEAR in Strasbourg and completed a master’s degree in performance at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam. What started as childhood curiosity for classical music soon became a defining force in my life.

My relationship with the guitar and with music has evolved profoundly over the years, and it continues to grow as I explore the new possibilities it opens for me. For me, learning music is a never-ending mission: there are always new horizons to explore. I love being able to broaden my knowledge through study, research, practice, and teaching.

It is truly fascinating to realise that even after a lifetime dedicated to music, we remain driven by an insatiable desire to reach new goals and, above all, to give the very best of ourselves in service of the art.

Performing at Siccas Guitars

The classical guitar demands not only technical mastery but a sustained engagement with a repertoire spanning five centuries — from the Renaissance lute music that preceded the instrument, through the great Romantic and nationalist schools, to the contemporary works written for today's leading players. Every guitarist who appears at Siccas Guitars brings their own path through this landscape, shaped by their teachers, their competitions, and the specific musical tradition they have chosen to inhabit.

  • Classical Guitars

    The classical guitar, with its soft nylon strings and characteristic timbre, has become a symbol of chamber music, Spanish tradition, and concert repertoire. Its modern form was shaped by Antonio de Torres in the 19th century, setting the standard for the body, fan bracing, and the 65-centimeter scale length that are still used today. Instruments in this category open up a rich palette from the refined Romantic miniatures of Tárrega to the majestic concertos of Rodrigo. Here you will find guitars that preserve historical continuity and at the same time inspire new interpretations.
