Biography

Music is a life choice: you must like studying and travelling.
And obviously you must like producing sounds.
I began very early with a chorus
(I was 5 and a half years old) but since
the age of 9 I’ve been forever tied to flutes.
At first it was the recorder, and therefore
the world of ancient music: then I moved
to the flute. For 15 years I made an in-depth study
of the so-called Western concert flute: graduating
from the Conservatory,taking part in various
master classes,participating in numerous competitions
and studying many different kinds of repertoire.
Chamber music was an immediate passion,
both for the pure pleasure of musical listening
and for the training in which to search for the ideal
combination of instruments and musicians.
From my long experience with flute and string quartets
came the need to move on to historical instruments.
Since most of that repertoire is comprised of works
from the late 18th –early 19th centuries: why not play
it with period flutes? A simple question really,
but the answer has become a life choice. I entered
the world of infinite flutes, distancing myself
from the modern flute but opening out to the timbre
and expressive possibilities of the many Baroque,
Classic, Romantic flutes, and finally the last frontier,
experimentation with 17th century flutes.
