Trio Vasari

Founded in 2024, Trio Vasari is composed of Sara Pastine (violin), Natania Hoffman (cello), and Giulia Contaldo (piano). The Trio will release its debut album, dedicated to the music of Giorgio Federico Ghedini, in autumn 2025 with Dynamic Opera and Classical Music.

The Trio is a continuation and expansion of the already existing Pastine-Contaldo Duo, which has performed across Italy and internationally in festivals such as the Festival delle Nazioni di Città di Castello, the Emilia-Romagna Festival, the Festival di Asolo and Amici della Musica di Padova. The Duo completed a Post-Graduate program in chamber music at the University of Music and Performing arts Vienna.

All three members of Trio Vasari were appointed Conservatory professorships in 2024, winning their positions at the Conservatories of Perugia (Sara Pastine), Modena (Natania Hoffman) and Udine (Giulia Contaldo).
