VIOLIN
Every instrument has a voice. Every voice has a Maestro.
The Academy is founded on the belief that the quality of an educational project depends primarily on the people who bring it to life. For this reason, the selection of our faculty is the result of a conscious and targeted choice.
Our faculty have been selected primarily for their musical and artistic background—careers built in the field, recognized and respected within the professional landscape."
