As a chamber musician, he collaborates with distinguished musicians, including Salvatore Accardo, Pavel Gililov, Ilya Grubert, Dora Schwarzberg, Bruno Giuranna, Rohan De Saram, Rocco Filippini, Irvine Arditti, and Gilles Apap. He regularly holds masterclasses and seminars for European institutions such as Musicalta in Rouffach, the Universitat del Liceu in Barcelona, the Conservatoire Royal in Brussels, the Leopold Mozart University in Augsburg, and the University of Leeds. He taught cello for several years at the Pinerolo Academy of Music. Claudio Pasceri is the artistic director of the EstOvest Festival, a contemporary music festival.
