Her latest endeavor includes serving as Executive Producer for the opera TRUTH.
Dr. Stefania Passamonte is a renowned figure, knighted by the President of Italy into the Order of Merit of the Italian Republic (OMRI) for her profound contributions to the arts. She currently serves as Music Director of "Music for the SDGs" for the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals summits.

Her work extends to policy-making and advocating for strategic collaborations between universities and industries in the UK.
A strong innovator in music performance and technology, Dr. Passamonte co-founded Sintonus, a revolutionary platform for online music education, and Clasikul, a unique NFT platform for art and music. She notably premiered the first Classical Augmented Reality performance in February 2024 at Guildhall of London and the first AI-powered Classical Music Film at the UN Creative Awards in May 2025. Her pioneering radio program, "Future Classic Women Awards," addresses gender equality in the music industry and supports mental health and peace through music.
Dr. Passamonte holds a full Doctoral Degree in Law and is a multi-Gold Medal winner at The Akademia Awards in Los Angeles and Global Music Awards , with her solo albums recognized at the prestigious Grammy’s Awards. Her recordings are broadcast worldwide , and she has given recitals in major concert halls globally. She received the prestigious "Premio Ghirlandina" from her hometown Modena and the "Artist Vision Award" and "Outstanding Legacy Award" from The Akademia in Los Angeles. In January 2022, she was granted the Freedom of the City of London for her exceptional service to the UK capital.
Her humanitarian efforts are particularly evident in her work with Ukrainian refugee students. Through LPMAM, she provided legal letters for military exemption, helped organize their journey to the UK, and established the LPMAM Ukrainian Student Refugee Scholarship Fund, bringing 54 students to safety, with 34 continuing their studies in London. This work is critical as military exemptions in Ukraine depend on secured funding for their studies, making her efforts truly lifesaving.
