PROFILE

      Cicero is a 13-year-old aspiring musician with a profound passion for music. His musical journey began in 2020, during the pandemic, when he chose the saxophone as his primary instrument. By 2022, he had achieved the ABRSM Grade 5 practical exam diploma for soprano saxophone. Cicero continued to expand his musical abilities, receiving the ABRSM Grade 1 violin performance diploma in 2024, followed by Grade 2 with distinction in 2025.

     Alongside saxophone and violin, Cicero also studies piano, believing it to be the cornerstone of all music— just as math is to science. To further develop hiscomposition skills, he has explored both the violin and guitar, seeking to understand the subtleties of string instruments. He has already composed several original pieces and is constantly discovering new ways to express his musical creativity. Performing in concerts is a highlight for Cicero, and he has had the opportunity to showcase his talents through solo and duet performances in Switzerland, Italy, and Hong Kong.

     Outside of music, Cicero leads an active and varied life. He plays tennis weekly, is an active member of a football club, and enjoys swimming and mountain biking. His passion for fencing began at the age of five, and he continues to train regularly, both practicing andcompeting with friends. Every weekend, Cicero dedicates time to painting and is eager to develop his artistic skills. During the winter months, he enjoys skiing and competes in inter-school skiing events.

     With his diverse interests and dedication to both his musical and athletic pursuits, Cicero is always striving to grow and explore new avenues of self-expression.
