Life
Tulio Peramo Cabrera was born in Havana on September 14, 1948. He started his musical training as a singer before turning to composing. He studied singing with Konstanza Kirova at the Escuela Nacional de Arte and composition with Roberto Valera at the Instituto Superior de Arte de La Habana . Later Félix Guerrero and Harold Gramatges were his teachers.
Today Peramo Cabrera is considered one of the greatest composers in Cuba. His work is mainly focused on chamber music and orchestral works and has a special focus on guitar music, although Cabrera himself plays the instrument only moderately. His works are regularly performed at the Havana Festival for Contemporary Music and the Havana International Guitar Festival . For his pieces he won prizes from the Cuban League of Artists and Writers in 1987, from the Agustín Barrios Competition for original pieces for guitar in Paraguay in 1994 and at the Rodrigo Riera Competition in Caracas in 1997. Many of his pieces were awarded and recorded by famous guitarists such as Eliot Fisk or Johannes Tonio Kreusch .
The artistic partnership with the German guitarist Johannes Tonio Kreusch was certainly the basis for many of these pieces. Johannes Kreusch gave many world premieres of the works composed by Peramo Cabrera in Munich and at Carnegie Hall in New York .
Today Peramo Cabrera teaches composition at the Music Academy in Havana.
