Cello (Creator and founder of GlobArte)
Silvio has always thought that the role of a teacher is not so much to pass on a tradition as to prepare young colleagues for a future musical world that only the youngest will see. A future that will probably use completely different instruments, scripts and languages. That is why he believes it is important to develop, in addition to creativity, a technique and approach to the composition based on a rigorous, explainable and defensible conceptual structure.
