Personal Description:

'Simona moved from Italy in 2009 to pursue a career in music here in UK. She lived in London and Leeds, where she graduated from Leeds Conservatoire in Classical Cello and where from she also developed a particular interest for contemporary music, under the tuition of cellist Alfia Nakipbekova (ex pupil of Mstislav Rostropovich at Moscow Conservatoire).
