Valentina Scheldhofen Ciardelli is a classically trained musician. Studying piano first she fell in love with the base at the age of 20 and now she explores the worldwide music scene and at the same time wishes to establish a new musical virtuosity on her double bass. She finds this particular instrument very versatile and unique.
She is particularly moved by the music of Frank Zappa and has transcribed his music since she was 11 adapting it for the classical world.
She firmly believes that the 21st century will be a renaissance for the double bass and compares it to the Romantic era when the Piano violin or cello start.
She is double bass professor at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance in London.
