Play me!
CAMILLA D'ONOFRIO
Born in 1993, she discovered her love for music and the violin at a young age, stealing and secretly playing her sister's viola. At the age of four, she received her first violin, and at six, she began to develop a passion for the piano. Two years later, she enrolled at the "G. Cantelli" Conservatory in Novara and, under the guidance of maestros Anna Ferretti and Enrico Groppo, seriously deepened her study of music.
She later changed direction, abandoning everything that was classical and restrictive for her. She graduated from the "F. Casorati" Music High School in Novara and then enrolled in the jazz violin course at the "A. Vivaldi" Conservatory in Alessandria. Her path to composition went hand in hand; she studied self-taught until a masterclass with Hans Zimmer, who gave her the tools to better understand the path she wanted to take. Currently a musician and composer for the visual and video game medium, Camilla continues her sound research.

NOT JUST CLASSICAL MUSIC
<< Once my last classical violin teacher asked me "but do you want to be a violinist or a musician?" >>
One day she plays rock, another folk, another jazz... Camilla's style spans many musical genres. In both her arrangements and her compositions, she seeks an unconventional sound for her violin, without however depriving it of its classical essence.
With her ever-changing soul, Camilla loves exploring and putting her hands on the melodies that move her most: from Queen to Michael Jackson, from soundtracks to video games.
It was precisely her passion for the latter that pushed her to create her first solo show, Violin&Dragons , still promoted and appreciated at the largest comics fairs in Italy.

She has performed as a soloist at festivals and fairs such as the Wind Instruments Festival, Novara Jazz, Comicon, Etna Comics, Nerd Show Bologna, and at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, during WYD 2016, which awarded her composition "Memories" the Music of Mercy award.
He shared the stage with MaterDea , with whom he recorded the single The Green Man ( A Rose For Egeria - Deluxe ) and the album Pyaneta . He currently shares his virtuosity with the Chocobo Band , a Final Fantasy tribute group.

<< The color palette and especially the wonderful score composed by Camilla D’Onofrio aptly complement the character’s mood, which ranges from newfound freedom to fear and desperation. >> (Fillfest)
<< A special mention for the talented Marco Strega and the never intrusive but always present Chiara Manueddu, Giulia Sabba and Camilla D'Onofrio, the string trio that gives the band that dreamlike and “light” sound >> ( Loud and Proud )
<< The fairy-tale vocals of the persuasive singer Simon – together with Camilla's graceful violin – have crept like an elf into our hearts, warmed by a musical proposal that smells of lime trees, damp woods and Provençal legends. >> ( Folk Night )
