I have studied violin (with A. Casagrande) and composition

in Ancona and in the Conservatory "G. Rossini" in Pesaro.
I've played with the "Orchestra Filarmonica Marchigiana" and
various chamber orchestras, ensembles of early, baroque and
contemporary music.
In 1982 I've founded, together with Peter Rabanser, the

with this group. I perform as soloist since 1990 for the

Concert Agency, in the Alte Oper Frankfurt, in the
Philharmony in Cologne, Berlin, Moscow and in the Carnegie

Together with Carlo Rizzo, Jean-Louis Matinier, Valentin
Clastrier and Michael Riessler I've participated in numerous
concerts and radio recordings of jazz music. I was chosen by
the German radio SWF as newcomer and composer for the New
