and Michal Dmochovsky, who have a determining role

in his development as a cellist. In 2017 he moved to Switzerland,

to continue his training with Ivan Monighetti and Claudio Martinez Mehner,

completing a Master's degree and two postgraduate degrees

at the Musik Akademie in Basel, the city where he currently resides.

such as Mischa Maisky, Lily Francis, Mor Biron, Claudio Martínez-Mehner,

Sol Gabetta, Ettore Causa, Vlad Stanculesa, to mention a few.

He is also co-founder of the M.A.D Ensemble, a chamber ensemble 

based in Basel with musicians such as Dmitry Smirnov or Arash Korni.

 

His recent appearances at the Verbier Festival, Pau Casals and

Theater im Hof, as well as his debut with

of Enrico Dindo in Zagreb, Croatia, are worth mentioning.

presumably built by Francesco Gofriller around 1740, in Venice.
