Artist statement

Making music together with others is what fascinates me the most about musicianship. I’m at my strongest when being part of a group, especially a tutti section in an orchestra. I am a good team player, and I believe that I am good to play with. I am really reactive to what I feel, hear and see around me.

Ambitions

My ambition is to become an orchestral musician. I hope that in five years I will be a member of a fine professional orchestra somewhere in the Nordic countries or somewhere else in Europe.

Learned during the studies

I have become more stable and confident about my violin technique, which has made me more free as a performer.
