Eduardo Gutterres (1997) is a multi-awarded guitarist who has established himself as one of his generation's leading musicians in Brazil. Currently, he is a Doctoral of Musical Arts candidate at the Manhattan School of Music (New York/USA), where he also teaches Chamber Music as part of his fellowship. Most recently, Eduardo was awarded the Prêmio Citi, provided by the CitiBank Brasil to five young Brazilian musicians. In 2022, Edu received the 1st prize in the Eisenberg-Fried Concerto Competition for his outstanding performance of the Castelnuovo Tedesco Guitar Concerto in D Major.

Originally from Porto Alegre in the south of Brazil, Eduardo relocated to São Paulo in 2019 after being selected as the Magda Tagliaferro Scholar, a prestigious sponsorship provided by the Cultura Artística Foundation for promising young Brazilian musicians. With this scholarship, he had the opportunity to receive regular guitar lessons from renowned artists such as Paulo Martelli and Fabio Zanon.

Eduardo's artistic collaborations include a guitar duo with Gabriele Leite, with whom he has been performing since 2021. Their exceptional musicality was recognized with the Chamber Music Category award at the Vienna International Classic Strings Competition in Austria. This opportunity was made possible through the sponsorship provided by the Instituto Guimarães Rosa, an organization dedicated to promoting Brazilian cultural diplomacy abroad. Their performances have graced globally significant events, including the Opening Concert of the United Nations Security Council Meeting and the Chamber of Commerce Brazil-United States' "Person of the Year" event. In 2021, they won the Lillian Fuchs Chamber Music Competition in New York City and embarked on a concert tour across Brazil in the summer of 2022. The duo was part of the inaugural reopening season at the Teatro Cultura Artística (São Paulo, Brazil) — along with Lang Lang, Joshua Bell, and others — following a fire that gutted the treasured space in 2009.

Eduardo is also a member of a guitar quartet alongside Brazilian guitarists João Luiz, Nico Silva, and Octavio Deluchi. Notable appearances include the Long Island Guitar Festival, Lincoln Center's Sonic Festival, recitals at the Graduate Center of CUNY, and the São Paulo Chamber Music Festival, showcasing a diverse repertoire encompassing Luiz's original compositions, arrangements of Jobim and Villa-Lobos, and the music of Paulo Bellinati, highlighting the rich rhythmic diversity for which Brazil is renowned.

In the fall of 2021, Eduardo collaborated with the Brazilian streaming platform ZapMusic to produce the documentary series "Guitar Around the World." The series offers viewers an inside look into his life as a young Brazilian musician residing in New York and studying at one of the world's foremost music conservatories. The documentary is divided into 12 episodes.

Eduardo holds a Bachelor of Music with honors from the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (Brazil), where he studied under the guidance of Paulo Inda and Flávia Domingues Alves. In 2023, he earned his Master's Degree from the Manhattan School of Music, receiving two Commencement Awards: the Andrés Segovia/Rose Augustine Award (in recognition of his excellence in guitar) and the Josephine Whitford Award (for his significant contributions to the school's spirit). His master's studies were conducted under the guidance of Mark Delpriora. In the Summer of 2024, Eduardo took part in the Aspen Music Festival as Sharon Isbin’s assistant, coaching the guitar ensemble at the festival.
