Elisa started playing the clarinet at the age of 13 and a couple of years later she was admitted to the G.Nicolini Conservatory in Piacenza, where in 2013 she obtained her Bachelor’s degree. 

In 2017 she got her first Master’s degree from G.Verdi Milano Conservatory and in 2022 she got her second Master’s degree from HKU Utrechts Conservatory.

She is specialised in E-flat clarinet, an instrument that she particularly loves. Thank to the financial support of SEM Stichting Eigen Muziekinstrumenten, she was able to purchase her new E-flat clarinet.

At the moment she is attending, for the second year, an annual clarinet course in Amsterdam under the guidance of C. Palermo, first clarinetist of the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra.

Elisa is an active performer and teacher, regularly performing with chamber music groups and orchestras, in both Italy and the Netherlands.

From January 2025 she is a stable member of the Nederlands Douane Orkest, based in Rotterdam.
