Orlando Vescio is a pianist, accordionist and teacher with a career built at the crossroads of music, education and social commitment. With a diploma in piano and a degree in Performing Arts and Sciences from the Vibo Valentia Polytechnic, he is a versatile performer capable of moving between very different musical worlds — from classical to jazz, from pop to Calabrian tradition — making music his chosen language for inclusion and for tackling school dropout. President and Artistic Director of Mousikè for over twenty years, he weaves together teaching, musical theatre and social project design in collaboration with local, national and European bodies. Among his most significant initiatives: the Tarantabella Etnico Festival, dedicated to Mediterranean and Calabrian musical traditions; the "Ma Che Musica Maestro" project — a long-standing fixture in local schools for over fifteen years — and the recent theatrical productions Les Misérables and Beauty and the Beast, staged with dozens of young performers.

Eugenio Nicolazzo has built his artistic training at the highest levels: a graduate of SDM in Milan, one of Italy's most renowned musical theatre schools, he trained with the most authoritative teachers in the field, refining a vocal and performance technique capable of holding its own on the most demanding stages. And he has truly stood on those stages, bringing his voice and his stage presence to the most important theatres in Milan. Today Eugenio brings to the classroom everything he has lived: the intensity of rehearsals, the discipline of the professional, the magic of the stage. He doesn't just teach people to sing — he guides his students to become complete artists, with awareness of body, stage and emotions. His vision goes beyond the classroom: he is the director of Mousikè's theatrical productions, the creative lead who turns our young people's work into real shows, capable of moving audiences and leaving a mark.

Vittorio Lanzo's musical journey is one that few can lay claim to. Trained at CPM in Milan — one of Italy's most prestigious modern music schools — he has refined his art through masterclasses with some of the absolute legends of world guitar, including Steve Vai and Paul Gilbert. His career has led him to share the stage with top-tier musicians on the Italian scene, playing alongside artists in the touring bands of Luciano Ligabue, Zucchero and Claudio Baglioni — experiences that bear witness to a career lived at the highest levels of professional music. His credibility in the music world has made him the driving force behind an ambitious project: the founding of the Rock On Festival, a stage that, thanks to his reputation and his connections, has hosted some of the most famous and respected guitarists in the world, bringing international musical excellence straight to the region. In the classroom he brings all of this experience to bear: a deep knowledge of harmony, improvisation and effects work, and the rare ability to convey not only the technique, but the true soul of the guitar.

Deborah Stranges brings with her the rigour and beauty of the great orchestral tradition. She graduated with top marks in her Second Level Academic Diploma in Violin from the "F. Torrefranca" Conservatory of Vibo Valentia, building a high-profile career that has taken her to perform on the most important stages of the Italian and international symphonic scene. A classically trained violinist with refined sensitivity, she has collaborated with some of the most prestigious orchestras in Italy, from the Calabria Philharmonic Orchestra to the National Orchestra of Italian Conservatories, taking her talent well beyond regional borders and performing abroad as an orchestral musician. In every lesson she passes on to her students not only technique, but that inner discipline and passion for music that can only be acquired by experiencing great music from within — on stage, with an orchestra, under the lights of a concert hall.

Bianca Bertucci has had the bass in her blood since she was 5 years old. With over fifteen years of training behind her, she has built a solid technical foundation and a mature musical sensitivity, refined over time through private study and now being further honed at the "Saverio Arlia" Conservatory under the guidance of Lucio Enrico Fasino, one of the most esteemed and respected bassists on the Italian scene. Her musicality has been shaped, above all, on stage. Years of live performances in different settings, on a circuit that reaches well beyond regional borders, together with various recording studio experiences, have given her the kind of versatility and presence that can only be acquired by actually playing live, in front of real audiences. In the classroom she brings all of this: technique, experience and a vision of teaching focused on the personal growth of each student. Her approach moves across different genres — pop, rock, funk, jazz, soul and R&B — because she believes that true musical freedom is born from knowledge and curiosity. A teacher who trains not only bassists, but complete musicians.
