Tonight we inaugurate the first edition of Festival Biancospino — a musical journey rooted in the heart of Gualdo Tadino, a town embraced by the singular beauty of the Valsorda in Umbria, which I have had the joy of calling home since last year. The festival draws its name and inspiration from the miracle of the Hawthorn of Blessed Angelo, a timeless symbol of community and hope for the people of Gualdo Tadino. Through music, my intention is to honour this legacy — to celebra

I’m absolutely thrilled to be part of the prestigious *Suoni Controvento* Festival this summer. On 10 August, at the stunning Sasso Pecoraro in Costacciaro, I will perform *Sgrìoban Dìomhair* (*Mystic Trails*), a work born from my deep connection with nature and the landscapes of the Scottish Highlands and Islands.

The Trio Dalì – formed by Enrico Cossio (oboe), Marko Jugovic (vibraphone), and myself (cello) – stands out for its originality and power to surprise. The ensemble itself — a rare combination of oboe, cello, and vibraphone — is a bold artistic statement, signaling a clear intention to break from tradition and explore uncharted sonic landscapes.

This evening at 8.30pm in the church of Chievolis, and tomorrow at 6.00pm in Tramonti di Sopra, the Blanc String Orchestra officially launches a project that is especially close to our hearts: Converging Universes.

The Isle of Skye is a place of breathtaking beauty and rich cultural heritage. Its landscapes, steep cliffs, and serene beaches create a perfect setting for traditional Gaelic music. Among the songs that capture this spirit is "Oran an Roin," a haunting ballad about a seal mourning the loss of its kin due to human hunting.

There’s something about the sound of the pipes that feels as though it’s been pulled straight from the land itself. When I played Loch Shin Bagpipe at Lauderdale House last week, I wasn’t just performing—I was trying to bring a piece of the Scottish Highlands into the room.

I’m thrilled to announce my upcoming performances in London! Tomorrow (Friday) at 1 pm, I will be at The London Scottish House, followed by a concert on Saturday evening at The Lauderdale House in Highgate at 7:30 pm. These concerts mark the exciting conclusion of a project that has taken me into the heart of the Highlands, where I immersed myself in the stunning beauty of North West Scotland. I have gathered sounds, feelings, and traces from this remarkable landscape, and I

With Hadrian's Wall and the Sycamore Gap Tree's stump as our backdrop, this journey commenced in a place abundant with stories and melodies. In 2023,when I played at the Sycamore Gap Tree's stump (after beging brutalised and cut by two young adults), I initiated a project designed to weave music with nature.

I’m beyond excited to embark on my upcoming tour, Music & Nature in Scotland, blending music and environment.
