B.R.U.A.

Fabrizio Brua While growing up in northern Italy in the town of Biella, Fabrizio Brua studied piano at the Lorenzo Perosi Conservatory of Music. Never completely convinced by traditional western methods for studying and performing music, Brua began to follow his own musical path. Under the guidance of a Jesuit priest, Frate Cappelletto, Brua began a spiritual journey that lead him to India. There he discovered classical Indian music and the sitar. Since 1991 he has studied classical Indian music under the tutelage of the Italian sitar master, Gianni Ricchizzi, in Assisi Italy; and with Pandit Amarnath Mishra in Varanasi, India. Now, Brua lives in Brooklyn and studies with Pakistani sitar virtuoso Ikhlaq Hussain Khan.
