Classical guitarist Eduardo Meirinhos is a professor in the Escola de Música e Artes Cênicas at the Universidade Federal de Goias, Brazil where he teaches guitar, guitar literature and chamber music. He was the Director of the School between 2007-2010, and he is again the director since 2019, in the second term, consecutively.
Meirinhos’s musical education began in São Paulo, Brazil, at the Conservatório Dramático e Musical de São Paulo. He obtained the undergraduate degree at the Staatliche Hochschule für Musik und Theater Hannover (Germany). When he returned to São Paulo in 1994, he joined the graduate program in the Departamento de Música at the Universidade de São Paulo, where he stayed until 1997 obtaining the Master’s degree in musicology. In 2002 he received a Doctoral degree from the School of Music at the Florida State University.
In 1989, Meirinhos had the honor of performing in the world premier of Nikos Platirrachos’ Lisistrati for violin, viola, clarinet and cello, in which the guitar is featured as a solo instrument. He has also premiered performances of Laudate Dominae, Toada Triste, Um Tranquilo Entardecer, and Cantiga de Ninar by Siegfried Schmidt and instigated the first Brazilian performance of Variations sur un Thème de Django Reinhardt by Leo Brouwer.
Meirinhos has given concerts in South America, Europe, and the United States, participating in several music festivals as both teacher and performer. These include: Festival de Musica de Londrina, Festival de Inverno de Campos do Jordão, Seminario de Musica de Montenegro, Curso de Verão de Brasília, Festival de Vale Vêneto, among others. His recordings include the CD Radames Gnattali, Sonatas e Sonatinas (1997), the live recording of the Festival de Musica de Londrina (1998), his solo CD Eduardo Meirinhos em Recital (2007), and Sonatas (2015).
