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.
