about us
At the first rehearsal in cramped classroom number sixteen of the Siena Conservatory of music, we realized that playing in the same room at the same time is not enough to make music together.
Choosing the chamber music path means embarking on a life project made up of shared experiences, hard work and satisfaction, continuous research and discovery. But above all, it means sharing the same purpose, a mission that unites the group and illuminates its path. Only then do differences in thinking, in personality and in sensitivity become valuable opportunities to grow as artists and as individuals.
At the end of the day, we play together because we want the audience to leave our concerts the same way we go home at the end of our best rehearsals: a little different from how we arrived, enriched by an experience through which we perceive ourselves and the world in a new light.
