“I started playing weddings because a friend asked, and stayed because a room of people listening to one instrument is the hardest and best thing I know how to do.”

Alan trained at the Conservatorio di Milano and spent six years in orchestral pits before going out on his own. He now plays around forty dates a year, most of them outside Italy, and built this roster out of the players he would recommend if he were already booked.
