I am Elia Celegato, born in Padua, Italy. My musical journey began at the Conservatorio of Padua "Cesare Pollini" under the mentorship of Stefano Righetto and Luca Lucchetta. After my education in Italia, I went to study in the Netherlands and obtained a master's degree in Historical Clarinet at the Royal Conservatory of The Hague under the guidance of Eric Hoeprich.

In 2023, I completed my master's degree in "Musicology: Recherche et Pratiques d'Ensemble" at the University of Poitiers/Tours in collaboration with the Orchestra of the Abbaye aux Dames in Saintes, France.

Specialist on historical Clarinets

My interpretations of classical and romantic works, using original historical instruments, do not go unnoticed.
