A graduate of Stonehill College, Anthony Freddura has worked as a business systems analyst for the past 15 years. In 2018, he accepted a senior position in this role at bluebird bio in Massachusetts. Outside of work, Anthony Freddura enjoys playing the guitar.
While the guitar's origins date back thousands of years, the instrument as it is known today was designed much more recently. Some of the early ancestors of the guitar include the bowl harp and the tanbur, which were played in ancient Egypt, Sumer, and Babylonia. The modern acoustic guitar began to take shape in Europe. Depictions of the guitar-like chartar, a four-stringed instrument, are found in carvings and illustrations from ancient Roman times. By the Renaissance, many of the instrument’s styles included a fifth string, which gave way to a sixth string in the 17th century. In the 1800s, Spanish designers George Louis Panormo and Antonio Torres Jurado created the classical guitar form. Torres' design greatly improved the sound of the instrument and became the standard by which guitars are made today.
