about me

I was born in Rome, Italy, in 2006 and initiated my musical journey at the tender age of five under the tutelage of esteemed maestros such as Di Carlo, Visco, Genuini, and maestro Stefania Mercuri at the Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia. My pursuit of excellence in Oboe continued at the L'Aquila Conservatory A. Casella under the guidance of Maestro Mutalipassi. Subsequently, I advanced my studies at the F.A. Bonporti Conservatory in Trento and Riva del Garda, Italy, under the mentorship of maestros Stefano Tomasi and Giorgio Cassetta.

In 2014, I had the privilege of studying under Francesco Di Rosa, the Principal Oboist at the Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia. My dedication bore fruit when I secured admission to the prestigious Master of High Education program at the Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia in Rome in 2018, followed by a similar achievement at the esteemed Accademia Filarmonica in Bologna in 2020. By 2023, I had earned my place in the National Conservatory Orchestras System (ONCI) and had the honor of joining the distinguished European Union Young Orchestra with whom I had the opportunity to play in Grafeneg and at the Bolzano Festival Bozen, plus further concerts at the Amsterdam Concertgebouw, Wiesbaden Rheingau Festival, Berlin Konzerthaus, and Hamburg’s Elbphilharmonie to work with Sir Antonio Pappano and Manfred Honeck, and soloists Julia Fischer, Benjamin Grosvenor and Martin James Bartlett. In 2024 he also played the role of 1st Oboe during the performance of Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 5 conducted by Maestro Donato Renzetti.

What I Do

For me, it's all about bringing classical oboe pieces to life in the most expressive and detailed way possible. I'm all about creating a musical journey that not only resonates with me but also captivates my audience.

When I step into a performance, whether it's a solo, chamber, or orchestral setting, I'm not just playing notes, I'm telling a story. I work closely with conductors and fellow musicians to ensure that our performance is cohesive and emotionally impactful. It's about finding that perfect balance between technical precision and heartfelt expression.

My leadership within the ensemble is characterized by dynamic interpretations and subtle nuances in phrasing. I believe in pushing the boundaries of what's possible musically while still staying true to the composer's intentions.

Technically, I'm always striving for excellence. I aim to produce a rich, resonant tone and execute intricate passages with clarity and finesse. But it's not just about mastering the technical aspects; it's about using those skills to create something truly magical on stage.

Offstage, I'm constantly learning and growing as a musician. I'm always exploring new musical styles and refining my techniques through dedicated practice and study.

Collaboration is key for me. I love bouncing ideas off of my fellow musicians and working together to bring our collective vision to life. And of course, I take great care of my instruments and equipment to ensure that they're always in top condition.

But perhaps most importantly, I'm passionate about sharing my love for oboe music with others. Whether it's through teaching, mentoring, or simply performing, I want to inspire others to discover the beauty and joy of this incredible instrument.
