What I'm looking for

I'm looking to continue performing, composing, arranging, teaching, and developing saxophone repertoire through orchestral, chamber, festival, and recording projects.

I perform regularly with Fondazione Toscanini di Parma through the La Toscanini Next project, working as a saxophonist and arranger alongside artists including Wayne Marshall, Morgan, Federico Paciotti, and Beatrice Venezi.

Since 2019, I’ve been a member and artistic director of the Satèn Saxophone Quartet. We have won prize concerts and scholarships in every competition we entered, performed across Italy and abroad, and led the international Saxophone Days Festival since 2020.

I play alto, soprano, tenor, baritone, and bass saxophone across orchestral, chamber, big-band, classical, and contemporary settings. My work has included the Ravenna Festival, ODG Big Band di Ravenna, and productions of Cavalleria Rusticana and Pagliacci Remix.

I also compose, arrange, transcribe, and teach saxophone. My original works and arrangements have been published by Edizioni Eufonia and Da Vinci Publishing, and I recorded Funkreations&More; with Fontastix and Bridges with Achille Succi.
