Silvia Bellio took up music with the local band in her home town of Baveno (VB) when she was nine years old. At the age of eleven she set out to further her study of the flute with Stefano Gori who transmitted a passion for the instrument and, even more so, for music in general: thus began her life in music.
She earned her Diploma at the Conservatorio di Milano under the guidance of Carlo Tabarelli and continued her studies under Raimond Guyot and Alain Marion. Still not satisfied and possessed by a desire to improve her skill, she enrolled at the Conservatoire de Musique de Ginève with Maxence Larrieu and, having obtained her degree, she was admitted to the Musikhochschule in Stuttgart with Jean Claude Gerard. She came to realize, however, after all those years of training and experience and with all due respect to the great flautists encountered along the way, that Gianpaolo Pretto, with whom she attended post-graduate courses, had indelibly changed her way of perceiving and producing sound and, therefore, of thinking about musical communication. She commenced work with the Lausanne Symphony Orchestra (ORM), took part in various productions with the Ensemble Contrechamp (contemporary music), performed throughout Europe with different groups, duos, trios, and quartets and, in 1996, won the position of Principal Flute both in Amsterdam with the Radio Philarmonic Orchestra and in Naples with the San Carlo Theatre Orchestra where, for love of her husband as well as for the marvellous theatre and the city itself, she decided to make her home.
Silvia teaches flute with a passion.
