Hugo Ticciati
Born: 12th April 1980
Hugo Ticciati was born in London into a musical family in 1980 (his brother is the conductor Robin Ticciati, and his grandfather was also a conductor and composer), and began learning the violin aged five. At 19 he turned down a place to read music at Cambridge in favour of studying with Russian violinist Nina Balabina in Sweden, where he studied for four years in almost complete seclusion; his musicianship is strongly informed by meditation and yoga, and his study of Eastern and European philosophy.
