Cristina Maria Noli (Cuggiono (MI), 1986) began her musical studies on the flute during her classical high school education. In 2009, still not yet graduated, she was chosen for the first national performance of the piece by the German composer Barbara Heller "La Palmera" as part of the "In-audita musica" event at the "F.lli Olivieri" auditorium of the Novara Conservatory. She studied composition with Maestro Maurizio Ferrari at the "Peri-Merulo" Higher Institute of Musical Studies in Reggio Emilia, where she participated, as a performer, in important national events such as "L'ora della musica" and "Compositori a confronto" (2011). She was also called upon to take part in the production of the shows "Il futuro spezzato" (2012, Masini auditorium in Reggio Emilia) and, in the same year, in the show "Lucifero", staged at the Teatro dei Rinnovati in Siena. She later studied with Maestro Giorgio Planesio at the "G. F. Ghedini" Conservatory in Cuneo. There she was selected among the students of the composition classes to take part in the writing of the musical part of the show "Orfeo" (2015), staged at the "Toselli" Theater and the "San Giovanni" Hall in Cuneo; at the same time, her solo harp piece "Pàs à pàs" was mentioned and included in the artistic season of the Cuneo Conservatory for the event "Compongo l'arpa", in collaboration with the Salvi company. She has won several prizes in national and international competitions (including the First Prize in the 3rd Instrumental Competition "Don Giovanni Conta" in Spineto di Castellamonte (To) and the First Prize in the 6th International Young Musicians Competition "Antonio Salieri" in Legnago (VR)). After moving to Milan, she was admitted to the class of Maestro Giuseppe Colardo and later to that of Maestro Sonia Bo, under whose guidance she graduated brilliantly in October 2022. Last year, several of her works were performed for the first time, including: "Trinus" for flute and clarinet at the "Puccini" Hall of the Milan Conservatory; "Suggestioni" for wind quartet at the Pianocteca Civica in Ascoli Piceno and at the Pesaro Conservatory (finalist of the "Mauro Crocetta" Competition of the same year); "Omaggio" for voice and guitar at the Pinacoteca Civica in Como; "Sogni che tramutano i pensieri" for flute, clarinet, and piano at the Museo del Novecento in Milan.
