Hallo, ik ben Elia Celegato, een klarinettist geboren in Padua, Italië. Ik ben momenteel Nederlands aan het leren en zou het geweldig vinden om samen in het Nederlands te spreken.  My musical journey took off at the renowned Conservatorio of Padova “Cesare Pollini,” where I was fortunate to be mentored by the accomplished Stefano Righetto and Luca Lucchetta. Fuelled by my passion for historical clarinet, I pursued advanced studies, earning a Master's degree in Historical Clarinet from the esteemed Royal Conservatoire of Den Haag, under the guidance of the renowned Eric Hoeprich.

In 2023, my academic pursuits led me to complete a master's degree in "Musicologie: Recherche et Pratiques d'Ensemble" at the University of Poitiers/Tours, in collaboration with the orchestra of the Abbaye aux Dames in Saintes, France. During this time, my interpretations of classical and romantic works, performed using original historical instruments, were honed under the mentorship of esteemed directors, establishing me as a skilled historical clarinetist.

My musical journey has granted me esteemed positions, including serving as the principal clarinetist and deputy of the Harmoniemusik of Das Neue Mannheimer Orchester. I have also made significant contributions to the recording industry, such as the premiere recording of J.C. Bach's opera aria, released by Etcetera Records. With a deep passion for historical clarinet and a wealth of expertise, I am dedicated to sharing my knowledge and artistry with fellow enthusiasts and aspiring musicians.
