Pavel Steidl was born in Rakovnik (Czech Republic). Since he won first prize at the Radio France International Competition in Paris in 1982, he has become one of the most widely celebrated soloists of his generation.

Before that he studied with guitarists Milan Zelenka and Stephan Rak in Prague. In 1987 he decided to emigrate to Netherland where after years of studying and getting inspiration from many different artists, he created his own style which honours the authentic way of 19thcentury guitar literature interpretation on periodic instruments and going far to some world music elements. Since 2004 he moved back to Czech republic and since 2015 gives lectures at the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague and the Conservatoire in The Hague.

He has had the honor to work together with such artists as Leo Brouwer, Carlo Domeniconi, Paolo Paolini, John Wiliams, Miroslav Vitous, Karin Schaupp, Edin Karamazov and others. Together with Zoran Dukic, Reentko Dirks and Thomas Fellow he is a member of Europian Guitar Quartet since 2012.

Pavel Steidl also composes himself and his own compositions are often played on his concerts or on the recordings. He has played in more then 40 countries in the world including Canada, USA, China, India, Japan, Europe, South and Central America, Australia and many others.
