Questions
What makes your instrument unique?
I received my violin when I was only ten years old, and ever since then I have played only this violin. She has shared my hard work, breath, tears, happiness, sweat, desire, passion, nervousness, excitement, joy, laughter and much more… Sometimes I talk to her, it sounds crazy but it’s true. I could never give her away.
What is your favourite time of day to practice?
I practice best in the morning. My three children are at school and I can concentrate well.
When and how did your path cross with CAMERATA BERN?
My first encounter with CAMERATA BERN was in the year 1996. I was a young student and I played as an extra in a choir concert. All of the players were friendly to me and I was very shy.
