  • What a week it was! Subbed for Solo-Viola @staatsorchesterhamburg with #kentnagano for the Opening concerts of @imf.hamburg
Had the most beautiful weather and wonderful atmosphere during the whole week! And of course a blast of a concert together as well! Go Violas!!💪👏

And not only that, I won the Stellv. Stimmführer position of this orchestra on the same week! I cannot wait to start my orchestra life in Hamburg from next season!

One of the most memorable days in my life!👍
  • Found this unlisted video from few years ago playing this crazy sonata. Probably one of the trickiest pieces I have ever played. I am so glad that the viola world had Hindemith. Unless we would had no pieces to pla…..🤣 Klavier Beast @pianistpark99 on the piano👍👍👍

Paul Hindemith - Viola Sonata (1939)
IV. Finale (mit zwei Variationen)

Had an amazing opportunity to play Viola Quartet with my teacher and my friends who I study together!
It was surreal to play at the very hall that I watched Tabea’s recital (last photo) 5 years ago and now sharing the exact stage with her is absolutely a dream come true! Also to play together with my wonderful friends, Brian and Lise was the best way to make this happen!
Absolutely grateful🙏
