Bruno Panunzio

Bruno Panunzio is a versatile guitarist with experience in both Classical and Flamenco guitar, as well as many South American styles (Tango, Choro, Bossa, Samba). His experience includes both solo and ensemble performances in Italy and throughout the US. Bruno has traveled extensively to Spain, where he studied flamenco guitar with Manuel Valencia, and Yago Santos.

His training includes masterclasses with Adam del Monte, Álvaro Pierri, and Meng Su, and he was a performing artist with Chamber Music Silicon Valley as a member of the Emerging Artist Fellowship during their 2018–2019 concert series. He is also a member of the South Bay Guitar Society in the Bay Area, California, where he regularly presents technique workshops for their annual Guitar Festival.

He holds degrees in classical guitar from San Francisco State University and the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, and his teaching is grounded in clarity, curiosity, and helping students find their own musical voice.
