Marco Giaccaria

Composer and multi-instrumentalist.
He performed from Early Music (Lyocorne, Ensemble dei Suoni Residui) to Contemporary Music, passing through Irish Traditional Music (Éire Nua, Keltéran Sharadì), World Music, Art-Rock and Jazz / Creative Music. His music is used by radios and televisions around the world.
Over 60 albums released, printed music and books.

Eva Carazzolo

A versatile musician, she combines a solid piano training with in-depth expertise in the world of opera and early music. During her operatic career, she specialized as a conductor, lighting designer, and stage manager, collaborating regularly with several Piedmontese companies in the staging of major opera productions.
Her artistic research passionately extends to performance practice on historical keyboards. Having specialized in the German harpsichord repertoire, she co-founded the Mirum Musicis Ensemble, an ensemble with which she explores early repertoire alongside instrumentalists and singers.
For twenty years, she has combined her concert activity with a constant commitment to music education and historical dissemination.
Her profile is rounded out by a passion for the figurative arts: as a painter, she dedicates herself to portraiture and teaching, thus integrating various forms of creative expression into her daily work.

Maja Elliott

Maja Elliott is a pianist, singer and composer.
After concert piano studies at the Guildhall School of Music in London she performed worldwide in numerous genres and settings including the spoken word.
Her music incorporates classical, modern jazz, ethnic music and improvisation.
She has been featured on Lyric FM on the Blue of the Night. She played alongside Will Auldham and Anohni who wrote, "Maja's piano playing has touched me. She is so expressive, holding notes in fearless witness to subtle emotions."

Claudia Fassina

Claudia Fassina was introduced to the world of music at a very young age; she began studying the flute under the guidance of Marco Giaccaria, and in 2008 she began studying drums and ethnic percussion.
Over the years, she joined many musical groups across different genres as a multi-instrumentalist and composer, which led her to perform in numerous concert settings in Italy and abroad, release albums, and record instrumental parts as a guest on various productions.
After pursuing ABRSM training, she earned her DipABRSM in flute with distinction in 2021.
