LMV LEGACY

a brave leap
into the unknown

Lily Monteverdi’s story began in the sweltering Australian summer of 1995. It all started with a remarkable woman, Lily, who arrived in a foreign land with nothing to her name. Little did she know, she was on the path to shape the futures of thousands of music lovers.

MONTY & VERDY

In 1996 and 2000, Lily's two sons entered her life, infusing it with boundless joy and the exhilarating challenge of newfound parenthood. Their presence in the household, amidst the ever-present melodies of music, served as a living testament to the values their mother held dear: diligence, ambition, and a relentless determination.

Lily's love for her family was limitless, and she was not only a nurturing mother but also a beacon of resilience and tenacity. She believed in the importance of instilling a strong work ethic and an unflinching spirit when pursuing one's dreams. Lily's guidance was steadfast, with high expectations that underlined the message that pursuing one's passion demands not just talent but also unwavering dedication and the drive to persevere through tough challenges.

In a truly remarkable fashion, her BOYS earned prestigious music scholarships to Trinity Grammar School and Sydney Grammar School. Amongst an ocean of other accolades, they were selected to perform at HSC Encore at the Sydney Opera House on two separate occasions. 

MOVING TO AUSTRALIA: 
A CHOICE THAT HOLDS A SPECIAL PLACE IN LILY'S HEART

In the face of daunting challenges, life often felt like an unrelenting climb. Learning a new language, far from the embrace of her family and friends, she persevered to rebuild her life. The decision to move to Australia was a leap into the unknown, but a choice that would forever hold a special place in her heart.
