HARP
After my first studies in Italy, I moved to France to get there my Bachelor and Master Degree at the prestigious CNSMD in Lyon. I am now, since September 2017 a "Londoner", in love with the city and more and more with my job. After completing my PGAD at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance, I am now a professional freelancer.

In 2018 I was awarded the “Featured Young Performer” Award by the London Ear Festival
and the "John Marson Prize 2018 for best performer". In 2019 I was awarded the first prize in the chamber music section of the Camac North London Harp Competition. I am a
Concordia Foundation and Park Lane Group Artist.

I have been working with the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden, the London
Philharmonic Orchestra, the Orchestra Sinfonica Nazionale (RAI) in Turin, the Maggio
Musicale Fiorentino, the Kolobov Novaya Opera Theatre of Moscow, the “Luigi Cherubini”
Orchestra, the Teatro alla Scala Academy, the London Southbank Sinfonia, being conducted
by Riccardo Muti, Daniele Gatti, Emmanuel Krivine, Antonio Pappano, Vladimir Jurowski,
Fabio Luisi, Dennis Russell Davies to name a few.

I have been performing in important London venues such as Wigmore Hall, the Royal
Festival Hall, the Purcell Room, the Royal Albert Hall and the British Museum between the others.

Even moving country, I have always been teaching regularly to students from primary school kids to adults, feeling the need to share this great passion for the harp!

ITALIAN
Mother tongue speaker who has helped a few learners improve their conversation and written skills in my beautiful (but sometimes complicated!) native language.

Moreover I have graduated in Bachelor at a French University (Lumière Lyon 2) and Master from the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et Danse in Lyon.
