Born in Karlovac, Croatia, Viktor Vidović came from a well-known musical family, whose influence on his achievements was very big. His sister, Ana, was introduced to music by him and eventually became an internationally recognised guitar virtuoso.
At 12, he had his first solo concert. At 13, he was awarded first place at competitions in Croatia and the former Yugoslavia, coming far in front of rivals, generations above him. At 14 he enrolled in the Geneva Conservatory, in the class of Brazilian guitarist Maria Livia Sao Marcos, under whose guidance he took the first place at CIEM, the Geneva International Music Competition, becoming the youngest winner in the history of the competition,[1] taking the Villa Lobos Prize and the Patek Philippe Prize for distinguished musical interpretation.
He completed his studies at Geneva Conservatory at 16 with a diploma and "the first prize for virtuosity" by way of special recognition. He completed a course at Salzburg's Mozarteum under professor Matthias Seidel at the age of 21, earning a degree of Master of Arts.[2] During his studies he was awarded the Franz Kossak Prize and a prize of the Austrian Ministry of Culture and also won the special prize for the interpretation of contemporary music at the International Music Competition in Templin.
