Giulia Ballaré (1987, Novara) is considered one of the most promising soloists of her generation.

She started playing the guitar at nine and graduated in 2012 with full marks from the “Guido Cantelli” Conservatory in Novara under Maestro Guido Fichtner. She attended masterclasses with the most important figures in the classical guitar world, such as Oscar Ghiglia, David Russell, Pavel Steidl, Paolo Pegoraro, Marcin Dylla, Judicaël Perroy, Aniello Desiderio and Adriano Del Sal.

At 20, after an Erasmus experience in Spain, she devoted her life to the guitar: in six years (2012–2018) she won more than 30 prizes in international competitions. She is regularly invited to play all over the world in prestigious venues, such as the National Forum of Music in Wrocław, the Gnessin Academy Concert Hall in Moscow, the Großer Ehrbar Saal in Vienna, the Aula Magna of the University “La Sapienza” in Rome, the Hall of Mirrors in Bratislava, and the Kurfürstliches Schloss in Koblenz. She performed as soloist with the Alessandria Orchestra (Italy) and the Musica Viva Orchestra of Moscow (Russia).

In 2013 she released her first album, “Lirically Spain”, on the dotGuitar label, followed in 2019 by “Untuned Guitar” on the Spanish label JSM Records. She is a Savarez and Tonebase artist.
