Some information about me

Eberhard Panitz was born in Hanover in 1952. It was not until the age of 17 that he learned to play the classical guitar autodidactically. After leaving school, he began to train as an architect while at the same time working in an advertising department. Inspired by the Hanoverian guitar scene around the New York guitarist Prescott Melvin, his interest in music grew more and more. This ultimately leads to studying this paltry art at the former conservatory in Bremen, with the lecturer Christian Kaiser becoming his first teacher. In autumn 1972, Eberhard Panitz gives his first solo concert and from then on gives guitar lessons.

Always in search of the true sound of the guitar, the desire to expand his knowledge in Spain arises. In 1976 he moves to Alicante, where he studies with José Tomás Pérez Sellés at the then Conservatorio Superior "Instituto Óscar Esplá".

Back in Germany, he also ensures a growing spread of the "bacillus gitarristicus" here. In Hanover and the surrounding area, he teaches at adult education centers and music associations from 1978 and at several music schools from 1981 and at the Casa de España from 1983.

In the 1980s and 1990s, he was repeatedly invited to Berlin as a jury member of the International Guitar Competition. In 2001, an article about Eberhard Panitz was published in the "Enciclopedia de la Guitarra" by Francisco Herrera and in the same year he was listed in the "Who is Who".

In his solo and chamber music concerts, pieces from flamenco and folklore as well as classical music receive attention. In 1997, he founded the guitar orchestra "LaGo" and in 2001 he founded the ensemble "Global Players". Driven by the idea of bringing the guitar in its versatility closer to a broad audience, he dedicated himself to composition in addition to his own arrangements and adaptations from 1989 onwards and became a member of GEMA in 1990. His pieces are performed in several countries.
