Trio Rachmaninov and Amadeus Adriatic Orchestra

Formed in Trieste in 1995, Trio Rachmaninov trained at the Trio di Trieste’s International Chamber Music School in Duino. In 1996 it won first prize at the Pinerolo International Chamber Music Competition, followed by concerts in Italy and abroad. Stefano Furini began studying with his father, graduated with honours under Piero Toso and continued his chamber music studies in Duino with Alberto Boischio. From 1990 he served as concertmaster of Teatro Verdi in Trieste, alongside guest concertmaster engagements including Teatro alla Scala.

Cecilia Barucca Sebastiani began studying with her father, a pupil of Libero Lana, and graduated from the Trieste Conservatory under Maestro Serafin. Following successes in national and international competitions, she continued with Rocco Filippini at Cremona’s Accademia Stauffer, Trio di Parma in Duino and Giovanni Sollima at Fondazione Romanini. Alberto Boischio graduated with honours in Padua and developed his chamber music career first in a duo with Furini, then in Trio Rachmaninov, formed in Duino with cellist Jacopo Francini. At the time of the edition, he taught piano accompaniment and vocal practice at the Buzzolla Conservatory in Adria and worked as rehearsal pianist at Teatro La Fenice in Venice.

Founded and conducted by Stefano Sacher, Amadeus Adriatic Orchestra began in December 2015 within the Trieste branch of Associazione Mozart Italia. Its activity includes concerts in Italy, Austria and Slovenia, with repertoire ranging from Haydn, Mozart, Schubert and Beethoven to Mendelssohn, Chopin, Saint-Saëns, Respighi and contemporary music. Its projects have received support from Regione Friuli Venezia Giulia since 2017.
