A SMALL INTRODUCTION
I started my musical studies at the age of 10 at the "Vecchi-Tonelli" Higher Institute of Musical Studies (ISSM), Modena, Italy, under the guidance of Maestro Alessandro Andriani with whom, in the winter of 2019, I completed Bachelor Degree Academic studies in Cello,
graduating with 110/110.
I attended masterclasses held by E. Bronzi and D. Scarpa (at S. Cecilia Academy in Portogruaro), G. Boselli, V. Paternoster, A. Andriani, P. Andriotti, M. Montore, D. Bovo, F. Biondi, R. Baldini and Michel Strauss. In 2015 I won the 2nd prize with 95/100 at the 5th G. e S. Martinelli Music Competition in Castelnuovo del Garda, obtaining the mention for the interpretation of Sonata Op. 38 by J. Brahms. In 2018 I won the audition as principal cellist of Orchestra Giovanile della Via Emilia.
In the summer of 2019 I joined in “Campus musica d’estate” in Bardonecchia, organised by the Music Academy of Pinerolo with the teacher Marianne Chen. At the same time, I recorded a CD, “Vocal Chords”, with “On the Bridge” a Cello Ensemble. In the CD we focused on pieces written by Francesco Cerrato, Joseph Noyon, Pierre Petit, Benjamin Britten, Heitor Villa-Lobos, John Dowland, Giovanni Maria Nanino and Johann Sebastian Bach.
During the academic year 2019/2020 I participated in the advanced training courses offered by the 'Accademia di Musica di Pinerolo', Pinerolo, Italy and by the School of Music 'Dedalo' in Novara, Italy, under the guidance of the teachers Marianne Chen and Stefano Cerrato.
From 2020 I started to study with the cellist Jan-Ype Nota at the Prince Claus Conservatory in Groningen, Netherlands with the Pre-master program and in 2023 I completed my Master's studies at the same conservatoire.
