Argentina - Luis Gianneo

Luis Gianneo was an Argentine composer, conductor and pianist born on January 9, 1897. He received his training from his father. But as years went by, he studied with Ernesto Drangosch, Luis Romaniello, Constantino Gaito, and Eduardo Fornarini. From 1923 to 1942 he lived in Tucuman. In Tucuman he co-directed the Instituto Musical and conducted the Asociación Sinfonica.

Luis Gianneo moved permanently to Buenos Aires in 1943 where he taught at the Conservatorio Provincial de Musica (1949–1965), at the Universidad Nacional de la Plata (1956– 1966) and the Universidad Católica Argentina (1964–1968). From 1955-1958 he became an Interventor and in 1958–1960 he became director of the Conservatorio Nacional de Musica. Gianneo also founded and led two youth orchestras. He was a member of the Academia Nacional de Bellas Artes, vice-president of the Sociedad Argentina de Educación, and he also received a grant from the Comision Nacional de Cultura. He composed 80 works covering all genres (except opera), and he is especially known for his orchestral and chamber music.
