Music has always been a profound part of my life. It connects me to people, cultures and the world around me. While I love music in all its forms, classical music has a particularly special place in my heart.
My own musical journey began early, with the recorder, violin and piano, and eventually led me to discover the power of the human voice. My background in voice and economics gave me two perspectives: an understanding of the artistic world and an appreciation of what it takes to make things happen behind the scenes.
I soon realized that my greatest strength lies not in being on stage myself, but in supporting those who are. Recognizing an artist’s potential, understanding their ambitions and helping them navigate the music world is what I find most rewarding.
Over the years, I have had the privilege of collaborating with some of the most remarkable conductors, singers and instrumentalists of our time, as well as leading orchestras and opera houses. These experiences have given me an intimate knowledge of the international music business and continue to shape my perspective on artist management.
With pura musica, I bring together this experience and my belief in a more open classical music world, one that makes room for different voices, perspectives and backgrounds. I feel particularly strongly about creating more opportunities for women, especially at the conductor’s podium, and about helping artists build careers that are true to themselves and their ambitions.
Fluent in several languages and with a love of traveling, I am always curious about the world beyond my immediate surroundings. Nature keeps me grounded and reminds me of the importance of balance and authenticity.
Ultimately, what drives me is the belief that music can cross borders, bring people together and touch us in ways that words cannot. Being able to play a part in this by supporting the people who make music is a privilege I never take for granted.
