What we offer

I’m Ilaria, a professional violinist based between Novara, Lucerne, and Milan. After completing my Master’s degree at the Conservatory of Milan, I am currently pursuing a further Master’s degree at the Hochschule Luzern in Switzerland.
Over the years, I have had the privilege of working with extraordinary artists such as Martha Argerich, Fabio Luisi, Gábor Takács-Nagy, Julian Rachlin, and others.

I have participated in numerous national and international orchestral projects,

including Accademia Teatro alla Scala in Milan, Orchestra Giovanile Italiana in Florence, Orchestre Française des Jeunes and Orchestre des Jeunes de la Méditerranée in France, Internationale Musikfestival Zell am See in Austria, Neue Philharmonie München in Germany, and Mahler Student Festival Orchestra in Belgium, among many other important experiences.

Beyond orchestral music, I am passionate about special events and love contributing to the creation of the perfect atmosphere for weddings, private events, and elegant dinners. I enjoy sharing my passion for music in every setting, offering performances carefully tailored to suit the style and atmosphere of each event, whether it is an intimate occasion or a grand celebration.

With experience both as a soloist and as a member of chamber music ensembles, I collaborate with other musicians to further enrich and personalise the musical experience.

My goal is to transform every event into a unique and memorable experience, creating authentic emotions for all guests.

If you are looking for an elegant and engaging musical performance for your wedding or special event, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

It would be my pleasure to make your special moment even more unforgettable, playing from the heart.

biography

I began studying the violin at the age of eight at the Scuola di Musica Dedalo, continuing my education at the Conservatorio “G. Cantelli” di Novara, where I obtained my First-Level Academic Diploma with highest honours. I subsequently completed my Second-Level Academic Diploma at the Conservatorio “G. Verdi” di Milano under the guidance of Prof. Francesca Monego, graduating with highest honours once again and In 2026 I finished my Master of Arts – Major Orchester at the Hochschule Luzern in

the class of Daniel Dodds, while also studying baroque violin with Brian Dean. I'm actually attending Master Performance with Friederike Starkloff and Ina Dimitrova at the same school.

Over the years, I have developed an intensive orchestral career, collaborating with international orchestras and festivals, including Zuger Sinfonietta and Kammerphilharmonie Graubünden, both as an academy member during the 2025–26 season, Accademia del Teatro alla Scala, Donizetti Opera Festival, Orchestra Teatro Carlo Felice di Genova, Orchestre Français des Jeunes, Internationale Musikfestival Zell am See, Mahler Student Festival Orchestra, Luzerner Sinfonie Orchester, and OJM (Orchestre des Jeunes de la Méditerranée). I was also a member of Orchestra Giovanile Italiana (OGI) from 2021 to 2023, where I also held the position of principal player.

I have taken part in numerous chamber music projects, particularly in string quartets, working under the guidance of teachers such as Leonardo Cella, Sara Dambruoso, Jana Kuss, Oliver Wille, Kyril Zlotnikov, and Simone Gramaglia. I have participated in concert series and events such as “Onde Musicali”, “I concerti del Cantelli”, “Ghiffa in musica”, “Amici della musica di Monza”, and “Le dimore del quartetto”.

My artistic development has been enriched by numerous violin and chamber music masterclasses with internationally renowned musicians, including Ilya Grubert, Dora Schwarzberg, Amandine Beyer, Lorenza Borrani, Alessandro Moccia, Sonja van Beek, Kate Gould, Fiona Bonds, Jörg Winkler, Jan-Ype Nota, Floris Mijnders, Marco Decimo, Patrizio Serino, Florian Donderer, Tanja Tetzlaff, Vera Martinez and Shirly Laub.

I have also participated in important courses and festivals, including the “Peter de Grote Festival” (NL), the “Città Alta Chamber Music Week” (Bergamo), the “Allegro Vivo Festival” (Austria), and the “Ferrara Chamber Academy” with members of the Chamber Orchestra of Europe and EUYO (European Union Youth Orchestra).

I have received numerous awards and scholarships, including scholarships from Orchestra Giovanile Italiana and various Swiss foundations, as well as first prizes in national and international chamber music competitions such as “Giovani Promesse”, “Milano City”, “Amigdala”, and “Insieme per suonare cantare danzare recitare”.

I have had the opportunity to collaborate with internationally renowned conductors and soloists, including Martha Argerich, Fabio Luisi, Alexander Lonquich, Julian Rachlin, Sora Elisabeth Lee, Marc-André Hamelin, Anna Geniushene, Francesco Piemontesi, Gábor Takács-Nagy, Fedor Rudin, and Emmanuel Tjeknavorian, taking part in symphonic and chamber music projects at some of the leading European theatres and concert halls.

Alongside my concert career, I also have experience performing at private events and weddings, an area I particularly enjoy because it gives me the opportunity to share my passion for music during meaningful and special occasions.

I love creating a musical atmosphere that complements each event, adapting my performance to the setting, the style of the occasion, and the emotions of the moment. For me, performing at weddings and special events is a wonderful opportunity to bring live music into important moments and help make them even more memorable.
