About
Born in 1987, Maurizio Azzan studied composition at Conservatory of Milan (with A. Solbiati), at Conservatoire Supérieur de Musique et de Danse de Paris (with F. Durieux and Y. Maresz), at IRCAM and with Salvatore Sciarrino. He has received a bachelor and a master in Philology and Ancient Literature from the University of Turin.
