CAN YOU IMAGINE YOURSELF AS ANYTHING ELSE BUT A MUSICIAN?

I could be anything: I dreamed of becoming a pilot when I was a child, I did many kinds of sports, I was interested in astronomy. However, I am happy to be doing what I am doing now. Life without music would be depressing.

WHAT CHANGES IN YOU WHEN YOU GO UP ON STAGE?

Not much, really. I just become a little more serious and focused.

HOW DO YOU RELAX AFTER BIG PROJECTS?

I usually do smaller (chamber) ones to relax.

WHAT DO YOU VALUE THE MOST IN WORKING WITH MUSICAETERNA?

Our wonderful team of talented musicians is the best thing about it.

WHAT PIECE OF MUSIC WOULD YOU LIKE TO PLAY?

If we speak of the orchestra, I have played a lot of music with it, and I would gladly play some pieces over and over again. As for things I have never played, I would name Rachmaninoff’s symphonic dances.
