new phoenix ensemble

With the cellist Sylvia Cempini, I co-founded in Rotterdam the New Phoenix Ensemble, inspired by the city's phoenix-like rebirth after the 1940 bombing.

We initiated three projects: DONNE introduces audiences to remarkable female composers and their societal contributions. HAIM celebrates the lives of the composers victims and survivors of the Shoah and the Resistance during WW2, and PERLE blends music with visual arts, architecture, and nature.

For the centenary anniversary of Giacomo Puccini, New Phoenix Ensemble collaborates with the musical brand "How I Met Puccini" that promotes his operas in the chamber music version.

Because we like to be out of the box, we created "OPERA meets BURLESQUE" which presents the most hilarious Trios by Mozart, together with burlesque where the serious is treated lightly and the frivolous seriously.

chamber music

Since I began my studies, I've been fortunate to be part of various chamber music groups. It started with the woodwind quintet "Quintetto Indaco" in my hometown. Later, I joined the "Ensemble Sequenza" with the pianist Leonora Armellini.

After moving to the Netherlands, I was a member of the Rotterdam-based woodwind quintet "Les Cinq," which reached the finals of the prestigious "Grote Kamermuziekprijs" competition in 2015.

I also had the exciting opportunity to collaborate with the English "Gould Piano Trio" during their concert tour in the Netherlands. Additionally, I was part of ELLE Trio, which focused on promoting women in music and reached the finals of the "Grote Kamermuziekprijs" in 2016.

I was selected for a scholarship at the Pinerolo Academy through the Orchestra Sinfonica della RAI in Turin. This allowed me to perform alongside the violinist Lukas Hagen and the pianist Andrea Lucchesini.

I’m also involved in contemporary music, being a member of De Staalmeesters, a concept by the pianist & composer Rembrandt Frerichs.

I’m a member of the Rotterdam Chamber Music Society and I'm in partnership with How I Met Puccini: the project about Puccini and the "Opera without words" created by the double bassist and composer Valentina Schledhofen Ciardelli.

orchestra playing

Apart from chamber music, I obviously love playing with orchestras, and I’m regularly invited to perform in The Netherlands, Germany, Belgium and Italy with La Monnaie Opera Theater, Brussels Philharmonic, Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra, Sinfonia Rotterdam, Radio Filharmonisch Orkest, Chamber Orchestra of Limburg, Mannheimer Philharmoniker, Wuerth Philharmoniker, Orchestra Filarmonica Rossini, Orchestra da Camera di Prato, Orchestra dei Pomeriggi Musicali in Milan and Opera Theatre Orchestra in Bari.
