Praised as "one of the most active and brilliant soloists from his generation" (Acervo Digital do Violão Brasileiro) by the specialized press and "one of the greatest talents of the Brazilian guitar today" (O Tempo), Octávio Deluchi had his solo debut at Carnegie Hall at the age of 24 and has more than 15 awards in national and international levels. He has collaborated with a wide variety of artists, between performances, premieres, and commissions, such as Emmanuele Baldini, Tania Leon, Sergio Assad, Vicente Paschoal, Rosana Diniz, Gabriele Leite, Eduardo Guterres, Guido Campos, to name a few. An advocate for new music, Deluchi is fostering the collaboration between performer and composer in order to create a new sonic identity for the classical guitar through different strategies on and off the stage.
