Alessandra Aitini

Alessandra Aitini was born in Mantua, where in 2010 she obtained a Diploma in Transverse Flute at the Conservatorio “Lucio Campiani”. She continued her musical studies under the guidance of Maestro Mario Ancillotti at the Conservatorio della Svizzera italiana (Lugano), where she earned a Master of Arts in Music Pedagogy in June 2012 and a Master of Arts in Music Performance in June 2015.

She has collaborated—and continues to collaborate—with several orchestras, including the Orchestre des Pyrénées, the Orchestra of the Mantua Conservatory, the Symphony Orchestra of the Milan Conservatory, the Symphony Orchestra of the Conservatorio della Svizzera italiana, and the Philharmonic Orchestra of the Brescia and Bergamo Festival. In these contexts, she has performed with soloists such as M. Devia, A. Stroppa, E. Dindo, Y. Gotlibovich, and G. Albanese, among others.

She further specialized in piccolo with Maestro Nicola Mazzanti, under whose guidance she obtained in 2015 a First-Level Master’s degree in Piccolo with an orchestral soloist focus at the Conservatorio “G. Verdi” in Milan.

In August 2014 she received the “Special Jury Prize” at the International Flute Competition “Gazzelloni,” a prize she also won the following year with the piccolo quartet Alt(r)e Frequenze, which she founded. In 2017, a recording of Les Folies d’Espagne by M. Marais (an arrangement for piccolo and cello) was published in the flute magazine Falaut.

She maintains an active chamber music career both as a flautist and piccolo player. In orchestral settings, she has performed as first and second flute as well as piccolo under conductors including S. Brotons, A. Vedernikov, D. Iorio, M. Venzago, A. Verbitsky, A. Tamayo, T. Ceccherini, D. Rustioni, and R. Frizza.

She currently holds a teaching position in flute at the lower secondary music school “G. Verdi” in Milan.

She will participate in Trame Sonore 2026 as a member of the Trio Synchordia.
