Anthea GrasselliAnthea Grasselli, organist and harpsichordist who obtained the Organ Diploma at the Conservatorium G. Rossini of Pesaro in Italy, had an intense activity, both as a soloist and in chamber formations in different European countries. Anthea attended mater courses with important European organists, such as T. Koopman, H. Vogel, M. Chapuis, L.F. Tagliavini, M. Torrent, M. Radulescu, and B. Leighton. In several places, such as the Academy of Organ Music at Pistoia in Italy, she was chosen in 1988 to represent the Academy in a performance at Uppsala inside the sister Swedish Academy, and also the Norddeutsche Orgelakademie at Bremen in Germany. Her works of historic organ-building were published, together with conferences of similar subjects, but she also gave conferences with a special care to notation consolidation of musicological interest. In regard to Gregorian chant, Anthea Grasselli was firstly trained privately at a young age by Fr. Umberto Franca, particularly for Gregorian Semiology. Franca was the substitute of Eugene Cardine at the PIMS (Pontifical Institute of Sacred Music) in Rome. The improvement and the interest of the chant went further, together with the knowledge of the organ. After successfully attending the exam for teaching organ and Gregorian chant at the Conservatorium of 'Cesare Pollini' at Padua in 2000 (Italy), her name was inserted in the permanent list of graduated Personnel for Gregorian chant and complementary organ inside all the conservatoriums.
