MILOS SEYDA
Musical sensibility, fascination with the diverse colours of sound, and curiosity about the way materials can be artistically transformed are the main elements that make up my work. Established in Cremona in 2015, I focus mainly on the construction of violins, violas and cellos.
ORIGINS
I come from Patagonia, Argentina. I grew up experiencing art and music in natural surroundings, starting to play the piano and the cello at a young age, and, later, to work with materials such as clay, metal and wood.
MUSICAL TRAINING
I graduated from the University of Musical Arts in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and continued my studies at the Academy of Arts in Szczecin, Poland. I was awarded the highest grades possible for both degrees. During my career as a cellist I trained with teachers such as Jorge Perez Tedesco (Argentina), Myriam Santucci (USA), Eduardo Vassallo (UK), Wolfgang Emanuel Schmidt (Germany), Tomasz Szczesny (Poland), and Paulo Gaio Lima (Portugal). I studied the main solo repertoire for this instrument and actively participated in orchestras such as the Amadeus Radio Orchestra of Buenos Aires, the Szczecin Philharmonic Orchestra and the Baltic Neopolis Orchestra.
LUTHIER
My journey as a luthier began in 2010 in Paula Godoy’s workshop in Buenos Aires, who passed on to me the first notions of this art. In 2015 I began studying at the Cremona International Violinmaking School in the restoration class of maestro Alessandro Voltini. In 2017 I received my diploma. Since then I’ve worked to further my knowledge of making and restoring stringed instruments, specializing with world-renowned luthiers such as Patrick Robin, Francis Kuttner, Antoine Cauche, Fréderic Becker, Loeiz Honré, Claire Mollimard, and others.
