Votre plat préféré ?

Votre devise ?

View life from different perspectives and explore it through all its colourful facets.

Votre plus grande source d'inspiration ?

I get more inspired by painters and writers than musicians. Therefore there are a lot of people!

Le conseil que vous donneriez à votre enfant si vous aviez 80 ans ?

No matter how difficult life is, there always be people on yourside, who believe in you and do not forget to enjoy life.

Ce que vous aimeriez que les gens disent de vous ?

Actually, I have never thought about that. But if I have to say something, I would like them to talk about my musicianship.

Votre truc pour surmonter le trac ou votre rituel avant de monter sur scène ?

Since I give a lot of concerts, I have overcome this fright but of course there will always be a little stage fright, which gives me an extra dynamism. I don’t have a special ritual before going on stage. The most important thing is not to be tired and that I am totally concentrated.

Quand vous jouez... pour qui jouez-vous ?

I am playing for all the listeners to give them a fulfilment and joy to the music.

Le métier que vous n'auriez pas aimé exercer ?

Pilot or sailor.

La blague (de musiciens) que vous aimeriez partager avec nous ?

La chanson (pas classique) que vous écoutez en boucle sur votre smartphone ?

Don’t Worry Be Happy - Bobby Mcferrin.

Les trois choses que vous apporteriez sur une île déserte ?

I would bring a tent, a mobile phone which has signal from everywhere and a camel.

Le son / bruit que vous préférez ? Et celui que vous ne supportez pas ?

Strangely, I love the sound of crickets very much. Furthermore my sister’s laughter and birdsong are my favourite sounds. When I am working, low quality sound is the most annoying noise for me.

L'endroit où vous voudriez vivre ?

I would love to live in Sidney, Australia.

La première chose à laquelle vous pensez lorsqu'on vous dit « Tchaïkovski » ?

The first thing I think about is my childhood and Tchaikovsky’s ballet music. Since I was little, I have a special affinity for Tchaikovsky. On the day of my birth my mother gave a concert with the orchestra and her labour began during the concert when she plays Tchaikovsky’s 5th symphony. When I was 1 ½ years old, I started with ballet without any help and each time I was listening to Tchaikovsky I started to dance. Also the first international music competition I won was the Tchaikovsky International Competition for Young Musicians.

La première chose à laquelle vous pensez lorsqu'on vous dit « Concours » ?

Performance. Also the happiness and excitement to get to know new people and to be able to give my best.
