– After brilliantly completing their studies in their home countries, these three musicians, with different backgrounds, met on the French Riviera in 2000.
Since then, attracted by the sound possibilities of this formation, where the magical timbres of the three instruments blend perfectly, they decided to work together.
Their desire to expand their repertoire has led them to adapt several pieces for this trio: with great passion, they perform the repertoire from baroque music to the present day.
Since 2000 they have performed regularly in concerts in Bulgaria, France, Italy.
Alongside their concert careers, they teach their respective instruments in various conservatories in the Region.

He performs as a soloist with different orchestras (Musici Ambrosiani, United Europe Chamber Orchestra, Camerata Musicale Ligure) and has made radio and television recordings for the most important Italian channels (RAI, Radio Tre, Mediaset…).
