Born in Genoa in 1980, Paolo Andreoli began studying the violin at the age of seven, spurred on by his father who captured his musical sensitivity. The meeting with Joseph Levin, Russian violinist from the school of David Ojstrach is fundamental for his training: with Levin Paolo Andreoli he continues to study until he graduates in 2000 with full marks and honors at the "Nicoló Paganini" Conservatory. "in Genoa, in the class of Maestro Alessandro Ghè.

Even before graduating, Paolo Andreoli participated in advanced courses (in 1999 with Zoria Chikhmourzaeva of the Moscow Conservatory) and competitions for solo violin, in which he always ranks among the first classified, up to obtaining admission to the Academy of the Teatro alla Scala. As a shoulder violin, he takes part in the many musical activities of the Orchestra of the Academy of the Teatro alla Scala, directed by important masters.

In addition to deepening his studies in the solo field with masters such as Anthony Flint and Giulio Franzetti, Paolo Andreoli has always dedicated himself to chamber music, following courses and masterclasses of instrumentalists such as Danilo Rossi and Massimiliano Damerini, and at the age of 22 he was invited to join at the Quartet of Cremona with the role of second violin.

With the Quartetto di Cremona, currently considered the best Italian quartet at an international level, Paolo Andreoli has attended masterclasses held by world-renowned instrumentalists, such as Hatto Bayerle, Rainer Schmidt, Anner Bylsma, Piero Farulli, Norbert Brainin.

As second violin of the Quartetto di Cremona, Paolo Andreoli has performed in the most prestigious concert halls in the world, often alongside other international level musicians, such as Larry Dutton (Emerson Quartet), Ivo Pogorelich, Lilya Zilberstein, Andrea Lucchesini, Massimo Quarta, Antonio Meneses, Enrico Bronzi. The concerts of the Quartet of Cremona are regularly broadcast by the most important Italian and foreign radio stations and the recording of the complete Beethoven quartets for the German record company Audite will soon be completed.

Paolo Andreoli also carries out an intense didactic activity: he teaches (together with his colleagues from the Quartet of Cremona) at the Walter Stauffer Academy in Cremona (High Specialization Course for String Quartet) and teaches violin at the winter and summer courses of Master4Strings (Bogliasco).
