This 2024 ends with many victories!

5 prizes for best performance (two of them were also in multidisciplinary categories) and one for the best soundratck!

This time I wanted ti experiment a little, proposing virtuoso pieces based on new movie music together with the classics of the harp, to show that new music doesn’t miss complexity nor depth, and that we need to push our boundaries towards new horizons. Fortunately, this spirit has been rewarded and I’m really glad about it.

Here are the achievements I got last year:

• Grand Prize at the New York Classical Music Competition 2024 (USA)
• Gold Prize at the Virtuoso International Music Award 2024 (UK)
• 2nd Prize at the 3rd Vienna International Classic String Competition, in a category where all strings instruments were competiting together (AT)
• 2nd Prize at the New York International Music Competition 2024 (USA)
• 3rd Prize the the 4th Edition of International Artists Competition, where all instruments were competiting for the same podium (AT)
• Best Original Soundrack at the Padula Certosa Soulplace Film Festival, for the short film Fascino d’altri Tempi,  where I composed and perfomed the music of the movie (IT)

For the Vienna International String Competition I was also invited to attend and perform at the Award Ceremony at Vienna Mozarthaus, but unfortunately I was in the States at that time and it was not easy for me to come back to Europe. I’m happy anyway for having this honour, and I hope it will happen again very soon!

With the hope that this 2025 will be full of great achievements too, I wish you Happy New Year!
