INNER REFLECTIONS

For this reason, he has developed a clearly defined melodic line that fits into the common framework of contemporary classical music. His love for nature, its wonders, and the emotions it evokes forms the foundation of his music. Through his music, Maurizio whispers into people’s hearts and creates a special connection with them, evoking a sense of emotional and cathartic well-being. Maurizio is also considered one of the most interesting artists on the new Italian contemporary scene.

In 2019, he will embark on a new tour with his new project “No Border,” in which Maurizio will perform with flutist Elena Kushchii (concertmaster and soloist at the Odessa Opera and Ballet Theater in Ukraine) and cellist Giorgio Gasbarro (concertmaster and soloist at the Teatro Massimo in Palermo and the Orchestra Sinfonica Siciliana).
