About / Biography

I'm an Italian conservatory-trained violinist based in Lisbon. In this city music brought me into a vibrant world of Brazilian and Latin sounds. Over the years I've built a family of projects with many talented independent musicians in the city — and together we cover everything - from elegant classical sets to the joy of samba, bossa nova, choro, forró and beyond.

My main projects:

Solo Violin — Classical pieces, Brazilian and Latin music, or a mix of both — I perform as a soloist with or without backing tracks, adapting to the mood and setting of your event. A flexible and elegant option for ceremonies, cocktail hours and intimate gatherings.

Viola Viola — An intimate, vibrant and versatile duo with João Priolli, a Brazilian guitarist and singer I've been playing with for years. Violin, voices and guitar combine in a synergy that fully explores João's Brazilian influence with my classical training. Perfect for ceremonies, cocktail hours and private dinners, we love to revisit in a special way a repertoire that is filled with choro, bossa nova, jazz, samba, classical music, soundtracks and original songs.

Carolina Zingler Trio — Violin, voice and percussion, built around an independent Brazilian singer-songwriter who has released five albums. We bring original compositions, that explore alternative music with Brazilian rythms and jazz influences, alongside well-known Brazilian repertoire and jazz — a beautiful choice for weddings and events that want something truly special.

Quarteto Travessias — A polished quartet equally at home with classical favourites, pop hits and a dedicated tango and latin programme. Ideal for ceremonies, receptions and any event where elegance sets the tone.

Italian-Brazilian Trio — Alongside the fresh voice of the Italian singer Laura Venturini and the Brazilian-flavoured guitar of Augusto Pereira, we create a warm, intimate sound full of life, weaving together Brazilian music with a touch of Italian flavour.

Whether you're planning a wedding in the Algarve, a corporate event in Lisbon or a private celebration anywhere in Europe, I'd love to be part of your day.

Technical Info

What are your basic technical requirements?

Basic is shadow and, if we don't play standing, chairs without arms.
Depending on the ensemble and the type of event, I can perform fully acoustic, with small battery-powered amplifiers provided by us (completely self-sufficient, no setup required), or connected to the venue's sound system — in which case we will need access to the mixing desk and the PA system. Microphones and cables are provided by us.


What information do you require about a venue?

Whether the event is indoors or outdoors, the size and acoustic characteristics of the venue, and the approximate number of guests — all of this helps us choose the right setup and ensure the best possible sound for your event.


Do you provide sound and lighting equipment?

We can perform fully acoustic, with small battery-powered amplifiers provided by us (completely self-sufficient, no external setup required), or connected to the venue's sound system — in which case we will need access to the mixing desk and PA system. Microphones and cables are always provided by us.


Can you provide a Spotify/DJ service before and between your sets?

Yes — upon request, we can provide background music via Spotify or a similar service before and between sets, based on a playlist agreed with the client in advance.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

Setup and soundcheck times vary depending on the ensemble and the type of sound setup required. All logistics will be agreed with the client in advance.


Are you happy to perform outside?

Yes, but we need shadow and, if the situation requires, power supply


Do the clients have a say in what you play or is it a set repertoire list only?

Clients are welcome to choose from our repertoire list, and we are happy to learn new songs upon request — feasibility and any additional fee will depend on the number of pieces and their complexity.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

Clients consistently praise the warmth and power of the violin, whether in solemn ceremonies, corporate events or lively celebrations. Many are struck by the unexpected combination of elegance and energy — the richness of the violin blending with Brazilian rhythms and percussion creates something truly memorable. A natural smile and positive energy on stage seem to leave a lasting impression, in both intimate and festive settings.
