Guido Sant’Anna started to practice the violin at the age of 5. Two years later, he debuted in a solo concert with a chamber orchestra.
At the age of 12, in April 2018, he achieved a historic feat: he was the first Brazilian or South American invited to the Menuhin Competition in Geneva. On the occasion, Guido took home the sixth prize, the audience award and the chamber music award.
