Gabriel Bianco, born on April 25, 1988, is a French classical guitarist. Born into a musical family, he began playing guitar with his father at the age of five and later studied at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et de Danse de Paris (CNSMDP). His early talent was evident through television appearances and public performances, including his first recital at the age of fifteen. He gained international recognition through a series of major competition successes. Between 2005 and 2008, he won first prizes at several prestigious guitar competitions in Portugal, France, Austria, Poland, Germany, and the United States. His most notable achievement came in 2008 when he won the Guitar Foundation of America International Guitar Competition, one of the world's leading guitar contests. Following this victory, he recorded for the Naxos label and toured extensively across North America. In 2012, he founded the guitar quartet Eclisses, which won first prize at the FNAPEC competition the following year.
