Conductor

As a conductor, Massimo’s interests lay mainly in both ‘contemporary classical’ and ‘Romantic’ era music. Through his studies at the Meerjarige Dirigentenopleiding (MDO) and several courses (some extracurricular) at the Conservatory of Utrecht (HKU), Massimo aquired knowledge in both instrumental, as well as in choral conducting. Currently, Massimo is conducting the accordeon orchestra Crescendo in Leersum and a choir based in Amsterdam. He is also frequently asked to step in as a substitute conductor.
