Widely praised for her profound artistic sensitivity, her exquisite sound and her unique palette of colours and dynamics, Greek guitarist Antigoni Goni is internationally acclaimed as a true ambassador of the guitar and a sought-after pedagogue.

Her international performing and recording career blossomed in the mid 1990s after winning the Guitar Foundation of America Competition. Since then she has been enjoying a busy concert career both as a soloist and chamber musician, performing regularly in concert halls such as the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, the Wigmore Hall in London and the Odeon of Herodes Atticus in Acropolis (Athens), as well as the Philharmonic and the Cappella Sale in St. Petersburg and Weill Recital Hall in Carnegie Hall in New York, to mention just a few. 

Her recordings for Naxos, Koch and Timespan records have been praised as “expressively poetic and technically exciting,” and received with great enthusiasm by the international musical community.

She is the founder of the guitar department at the Juilliard Pre-College Division at the Juilliard School in New York City, honorary associate of the Royal Academy of Music in London, and the founder and artistic director of the Volterra Project. Since 2004, Goni is the professor of guitar at the Koninklijk Conservatorium in Brussels where she lives with her husband and two daughters.

Goni plays and records on La Boda by José L. Romanillos, ever since acquiring this guitar in 1989.
