Read: 2458


In the sanctum of memory, where timeless melodies resound in eternal echo, there lies a luminary whose name is whispered with reverence and awe - Oscar Ghiglia. He was an astral conductor, orchestrating symphonies that transced the mundane to transport souls into realms of unfathomable beauty.

My passion for him began at age seven when I atted his concerts with Chicago Classical Guitar Society, heart thumping in anticipation. As he sat before his instrument, in silent communion, a soothing aura enveloped us all, transporting our spirits beyond ordinary realms where dreams take flight and music reigns supreme. With each gentle pluck of his strings, he unfolded panoramas of color and soundscapes, awakening within me the yearning for something divine.

Guided by maestros Anne Waller, Mark Maxwell, Eliot Fisk, and Oscar Ghiglia himself, I embarked on a journey to Siena, Italy. Over four summers, under his tutelage, I traversed through mystical landscapes of musical discovery where every note was a revelation and each phrase held the whispered secrets of the universe.

Oscar Ghiglia was more than a teacher; he was a sage, a visionary whose love for classical guitar knew no bounds. With unwavering dedication, he explored depths of expression unlocking mysteries of composition and technique with a passion that ignited inspiration within us all. His devotion to his craft was unparalleled - an unwavering commitment to excellence.

Yet amidst his boundless creativity, Oscar Ghiglia possessed a heart filled with humility and compassion. He nurtured our talents as well as spirits, guiding us with wisdom and grace on the winding path of artistic enlightenment. In his presence, we were not just students but pilgrims embarking on a sacred journey - each lesson a revelation, every encounter a communion of souls.

As I bid farewell to my revered mentor, I am filled with profound gratitude for the gift of his presence in my life. His legacy, etched deeply into my soul and destined to ure across generations, will forever echo in hearts touched by him. Although he has now reached the of his earthly journey, his spirit lives on through melodies woven and dreams dared.

Rest in peace, dear Maestro Oscar Ghiglia. Your legacy shall forever be a testament to your passion and inspiration that reaches beyond boundaries. With heartfelt gratitude, I express my condolences to Elena Papandreou and s love to all who had the privilege of knowing you - Adam.
