I've been in love with Rome since my first performance there almost 20 years ago. I'm seduced by the indescribable beauty, the people and their language, as well as the functional anarchy. In 2002, my family and I moved to Rome where I was a visiting artist at the American Academy. I founded the Rome Chamber Music Festival the following year. As you'll see when you visit the Festival site, the Festival has become an important addition to the cultural life of the Eternal City.
