Miguel Piva was born in Santa Fe, Argentina. In 1990, Piva
was a first prize recipient in Argentina's Mozarteum Guitar
Competition. He has developed a wide range of special effects
and percussive techniques that are essential for projecting
the special character of Latin American guitar music. Piva
studied at the Universidad Nacional del Litoral and worked
with Guido Santorsola in the analysis of guitar quartet repertory.
He has also studied guitar technique and interpretation with
maestros J. Manuel Echagüe and
Eduardo Isaac. He has participated in numerous master classes
worldwide and has performed on several occasions for the Uruguayan
maestro Abel Carlevaro. Piva is also a devoted researcher
of the music of Astor Piazzolla.
When not touring with the SFGQ, Piva conducts the Santa Fe
Choir in performances of sacred and secular works.
