The cello is an amazing instrument, capable of performing multiple musical roles, and this versatility is the reason its rich tone has crept into almost every musical genre. People don’t often consider the physical strength that develops from playing the cello. It requires good posture and strong back muscles, strong arms, and strong hands.

About Me

I was born in Italy, but lived since my fourth year in Munich (Germany). With four I've also started there to play the cello with Jan-Peter Close and Karin Sassmannshaus, within the program of the Munich conservatory for young children. Afterwards I continued my education there with various teachers (Anja Fabricius, Rupert Buchner, Hanno Simons), and finally came to the Netherlands, where I obtained  my Master's  degree at the conservatory in Rotterdam with Herre-Jan Stegenga. Already during my studies I started playing regulary in professional orchestras in Germany and the Netherlands. Next to my orchestra-activities, I also love to play chamber music. I perform in international festivals, amongst others the Rheingau Festival, the Gstaad Festival and the Chiemsee Festival. I'm member of the Shalom Ensemble in Munich, the Camille Claudel Trio and the Rotterdam based Phoenix Trio with the pianist Federico Mosquera and the clarinettist Letizia Maula.
