ARTIST STATEMENT
Our core mission is rooted in a clear and shared purpose: to amplify the presence of women in classical music. In a field where female contributions are still frequently overlooked, we work to bring these voices to the forefront—not as a solitary effort, but as a meaningful contribution to a much wider and growing awareness within the contemporary music world.
Beyond performing the traditional repertoire for flute and guitar, we focus on building a supportive and positive network with both Italian and international female composers. This collaborative approach allows us to move beyond the role of simple performers, turning each project into a shared creative process.
This commitment to collaboration recently led us to a significant partnership with Dutch guitarist and composer Annette Kruisbrink. Our shared vision resulted in our debut recording, anotHER VOICE (Doberman label), an album dedicated entirely to Kruisbrink’s repertoire and the first concrete milestone in our mission to champion female voices in music. The title deliberately highlights the words “her voice”; however, this voice is not a solitary effort, but rather “another voice” contributing to a supportive and positive network of women artists.
