Srđan Bulat (born in 1986 in Split, Croatia) started playing guitar at the age of eight. In 2010 he graduated Summa cum laude from the Music Academy in Zagreb where he studied with professor Darko Petrinjak, member of the Zagreb Guitar Trio and one of the world's foremost guitar pedagogues. He received two Rector’s awards (awarded at the University level) and a Dean’s award.
During his career Srdjan has won prizes in almost all of the most prestigious international guitar competitions, including third and second prizes in 'Michele Pittaluga' in Alessandria, second prizes in 'Alhambra', Valencia and 'Gredos San Diego', Madrid and first prizes in 'Fernando Sor', Rome and 'Julian Arcas' in Almeria.
In September 2011 Srđan won the first prize and a special prize for the best interpretation of works by Tarrega in the 'Francisco Tarrega' competition in Benicassim, Spain. It is one of the most important international competitions for classical guitarists, and gave him the opportunity to record his first CD for the prestigious music label Naxos. This CD was officially released in September 2012.
Srđan has also won numerous special awards for the best interpretation of Spanish music which is prominently featured in all of his solo recitals and recordings. He has won three of the most important national competitions for young musicians: ‘Ferdo Livadic’, ‘Ivo Vuljevic’ and ‘Darko Lukic’ and is the only guitarist to do so, these competitions being open to all instrumentalists and singers.
He is currently a postgraduate student at the Royal Academy of Music in London where he studies with Prof. Michael Lewin, as the winner of an ABRSM scholarship. He has most recently won the second prize in the London International Guitar Competition.
