Born in Athens in 1996 and now based in Graz, Austria, Konstantinos Bourvaris is a jazz guitarist, composer and educator whose musical path has been shaped by curiosity, collaboration and a strong commitment to developing a personal artistic voice.

He moved to Graz to pursue his studies at the University of Music and Performing Arts Graz (KUG), where he completed his Bachelor’s degree in Jazz Guitar Performance in 2023. In June 2026, he completed his Master’s degree in Jazz Guitar Performance with honours. His years at KUG allowed him to deepen his musical language while becoming an active member of the Austrian and wider European jazz scenes.

Since 2021, he has been an active member of the Luis Bonilla International Jazz Quartet, while his selection as guitarist for the JMI World Jazz Orchestra led to extensive European tours in both 2021 and 2022. He has

since performed throughout Austria, Greece, Slovenia, Croatia and Italy, collaborating with distinguished musicians including John Riley, Luis Bonilla, Renato Chicco, Joe Fiedler and Stjepko Gut, among others.

Alongside leading his own quartet, Konstantinos has been involved in several other projects. These include Joe Fiedler’s European Quartet, the Generations Encounters Trio with renowned organist Renato Chicco, Armin Jambor’s Quintet, Kajetan Kamenjašević’s K² Quartet and the Renato Chicco Organ Quartet featuring drum legend John Riley. His festival appearances include JazzWerkstatt Graz, More Than Jazz in Udine and JAZZ IS BACK! in Grožnjan, Croatia. 

His debut album, “In between: Life” is scheduled to be released by the end of 2026. 

Alongside his work as a performer and composer, Konstantinos is a dedicated guitar educator. Whether performing, composing or teaching, his approach remains guided by the same values: attentive listening, meaningful interaction and the search for an honest musical expression.
