Percussionist Sofia Garzotto is a versatile musician, performer and artist. Her repertoire ranges from solo and chamber music projects to orchestral playing. Sofia stands out for her expressive stage presence and her powerful, sensitive touch on the instrument. As an orchestral musician, Sofia regularly performs with the Ensemble Kontrapunkte Wien and with the Tonkünstler Orchester Niederösterreich, where she held a temporary contract in 2021/2022. She also collaborates as a percussionist with the Wiener Symphoniker, the Bruckner Orchestra Linz, the Mozarteum Orchestra Salzburg, the Johan Strauss Ensemble Linz, the Synchron Stage Vienna, the Orchestra di Padova e del Veneto and as a timpanist with the l’Orfeo Baroque Orchestra and the Wiener Akademie Orchestra. As a freelance artist, Sofia is particularly interested in interdisciplinarity. Together with Jerca Rožnik Novak, she founded Echospiel, an interdisciplinary duo for percussion and dance. After the first video recording collaboration “STURM”, the performance “Synaesthesia” was created; a synesthetic concert-performance combining the expressive possibilities of sound and movement. The duo made their debut at the Grafenegg Festival in 2023. Sofia graduated from an Artistic Master’s degree in 2023 and a Pedagogical Bachelor’s degree in 2022 at the Anton Bruckner Private University, with second study in harpsichord and cultural management. In addition, she completed a diploma in percussion instruments at the Conservatorio C. Pollini in Padova (IT) in 2014 and an exchange program with the marimbist Keiko Abe at the Toho Gakuen School of Music and Drama in Tokyo (JP) in 2013.
FAI - Negozio Olivetti
In 1957, Adriano Olivetti identified it as the ideal building for a showcase that could transmit the company’s cultural values in a context where modernity and innovation could live together while respecting the time-honoured surroundings. This challenging commission was given to the Venetian architect Carlo Scarpa.
Every detail, in terms of material, shape and color, is carefully placed, thing is overlooked. If you’re passionate about architecture you cannot miss a visit!

Palazzo Zuckermann
Viaggio semiserio nel paese di Alberto Garzotto
An unexpected journey! We had the pleasure of creating some videos for the exhibition of Alberto Garzotto’s artworks at Palazzo Zuckermann, curated by Luisa Fantinel.
In these short videos, curator Luisa Fantinel analyzes the contemporary contribution of Venetian painter Alberto Garzotto to Italian art: the fusion of collage and watercolor to address existential and disturbing themes. In classicism – and in much of modern art – collage and watercolor have always been far from carrying deep meanings, but here Garzotto employs them to express the common sense of abandonment and isolation that often reside within us.
