Valentina Rebaudo

Up and coming clarinettist in the Lake Geneva region, Valentina Rebaudo stems from the Nice National Conservatory, the Musikhochschule from Freiburg in Breisgau and the University of Music Lausanne. Not content to work with several European orchestras and being very active in chamber music, this young artist of Italian origin made new ground by promoting music as a form of non-violent resistance: the responsibility of the educator in the formation of the human dimension of an artist is near and dear to her heart. Putting words into action, she teaches music to children in Palestinian refugee camps in collaboration with the Edward Said National Conservatory of Palestine, and organizes teaching projects in Mexic, Paraguay... Valentina is the clarinet teacher at the Rolle Music School, and she is the dean of the theory department - children pedagogy section, at the Lausanne Conservatory.
