Eduardo Isaac

A series of seminars in Argentina and Brazil were guitarist Eduardo Isaac’s first introduction to the various directions within the world of the Latin American guitar.

In record time he won first prize at several renowned guitar contests in South America; in Porto Alegre, Rio de Janeiro, Vina del Mar and Caracas. His next move was the conquest of Europe, where he brilliantly came first not only at the contest Infanta Cristina in Madrid, but subsequently also at the Andrés Segovia contest in Palma de Mallorca and, more recently, at the contest Le Printemps de la Guitare in Belgium (under royal patronage of Queen Mother Fabiola).

Many famous orchestras have since then invited Eduardo Isaac to play with them: not only in his birthland Argentina, but also orchestras in countries such as Japan, Chili, Portugal, Korea, Belgium, France, Spain and the United States.

Amongst his own favourite concertos are the Concierto del Sur by Manuel Maria Ponce, the Concierto para Guitarra y Bandonéon by Astor Piazzolla and the Concierto d’Aranjuez en Fantasia para un Gentilhombre by Joaquin Rodrigo.

With great enthusiasm Eduardo Isaac participates in the organisation of musical group tours in Buenos Aires and Mar del Plata, where he initiates the participants into the rich world of the guitar. Eduardo Isaac is also a professor at the Conservatory of Entre Rios and often he is asked to give seminars in France, Belgium, Spain, Canada, the United States and Portugal.

Contemporary guitar music is of great importance to Eduardo Isaac, which is not only reflected in his concerts, but also in the many recordings he has made with GHA over the years.
