nazionali della chitarra e scoprendo nuovi giovani talenti.... ...Diego Budicin, 20 anni di Torino, con
“Thinkin’ of Chopin”.”
Verona Oggi newspaper - Press release
“I play if you have the money Or if you’re a friend to me But the one man band By the quick lunch
stand He was playing real good for free” These lyrics by Joni Mitchell were written long before 19-year-old Italian guitarist Diego Budicin was born, but they could have been written about him. On Budicin’s MySpace page, he interviews himself. He speaks English very well during the session and talks
about his trip to the USA, particularly his musical tour of Central Florida, including time in DeLand
and at Stetson University. He explains how he is playing this series of engagements free of charge!
Judging by the clips of his guitar performance on YouTube, he plays real good too. He plays with
blazing speed, yet maintains much expressiveness and musicality. Budicin credits much of his guitar
technique and musicianship to study with his first private instructor. ...

advantage of a few weeks in Volusia County to do so. Locally Diego will be made to feel at home
on Stetson Campus by the Music School Faculty and students alike. He will be attending classes and
meeting with many of the guitarists who are presently studying with international guitarist, Professor
Stephen Robinson....”
