EP 29 - Valentina Ciardelli

Valentina lives in London and she is teacher assistant in Leon’s Bosch class at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance and young artist of Talent Unlimited. She won a scholarship from associazione Animando in Lucca for a research project investigating the music of Giacomo Puccini’s ancestors and her work has been published for the Japanese Press Da Vinci. She will debut her first solo album, Music from the Sphinx, in November 2019 with a brand new repertoire, most of it developed in the Trinity Laban Junior Fellowship research year. Valentina's work is focused to expand the double bass solo repertoire composing new virtuoso pieces, transcribing mostly Frank Zappa’s Repertoire and playing new composition written for her from many contemporary composers.
