Different paths converge in the acoustic palette of Julio Azcano: the refining of his classic technique at his homeland Argentina, an intense activity in improvisation and composition projects in Europe and a nourished performing activity that includes concerts through Argentina, Austria, France, Germany, Spain, Poland and the USA.

Julio's playing was registered in several opportunities on Radio and TV broadcastings and CDs recordings, including the album from South America renowned Guitar Festival Guitarras del Mundo and the national broadcasting of an acclaimed concert by Guitar City 2008 in Poland. His cross-border dialogue with diverse styles in the Classical Guitar allows him to a constant improvement of his musical expressions solo and with several ensemble projects, sharing stages with guitar players like Quique Sinesi, Juan Falú, Barry Finnerty, Pablo Marquez, Carlé Costa and many others great musicians. Present activities include his trio with the austrian jazz flutist Günter Wehinger and the percussionist Claudio Spieler, the Ayres duo with the anatolian baglama player Taylan Arikan and collaborations with the double bass player Juan Pablo Navarro, the bandoneon player Gabriel Rivano and the cellist Daniel Pezzotti.

Immersed since his early days in the strong guitar tradition of Argentina, Julio started his professional life and opened his ears to a wide area on styles playing concerts with some of the well-known guitar players from his country. He completed his Diploma in Classical Guitar in Mar del Plata and took private lessons with guitar virtuoso Eduardo Isaac. Later he continued his studies in Buenos Aires, under the guidance and support from Pino Marrone, and began to integrate elements from Jazz and Improvisation in his repertoire. In 2000 he won the first price in Jazz and also in Classical Music of the National Biennale for Young Art, with which he obtained the possibility to make a first record and began to play concerts through his country, and soon after in USA and Europe. At the Zurich University of the Arts he completed a second Diploma in Jazz and Improvisation, where he polished his improvisational approach to Jazz with Kurt Rosenwinkel. Julio has taught at Mar del Plata Conservatory in Argentina, has given workshops at several institutions in his homeland and at the Zurich University of the Arts. Since 2004 he lives in Luzern.
