At what age did you begin playing a musical instrument?
6 years old
At what age did you understand that you wish to pursue a musical career?
I’ve never understood or decided it, I just went with the flow.
Name an unforgettable moment with the IPO
Vienna, Tchaikovsky 6th with Zubin Mehta, the end of the last movement.
What do you love to do off- stage?
Soon I’m going to start teaching Yoga, I love learning and listening to all kinds of music, recording and playing chamber music with my quartet Personata (also off stage☺), I’m interested in photography, learning languages, religions, massage techniques and the human body, psychology and more.
Which kind of music would we find on your playlist?
It’d be easier to mention which kind you wouldn’t. Look for example at the playlist that Nitzan Canetty sent as part of the IPO Foundation musicians’ playlists, pretty versatile ☺
Did you acquire any new skills during the pandemic?
Yes, I studied Yoga teaching, studying now how to become an Ayurveda therapist, and soon starting a couple more things…☺
