Personalia
At the Residentie Orkest since
2024
Study
I did my studies in Amsterdam with Vera Beths and my bachelor's with Ilya Grubert and Maria Milstein.
Favorite composer
Right now, my favorite composer is probably Caroline Shaw. I find her music very inspiring and am curious about her further developments. If I had to choose a composer from the past, I would probably say Mozart.
Instrument
I recently received my instrument on loan from the Nationaal Muziekinstrumenten Fonds in Amsterdam. It is a beautiful Kuyper, made in The Hague ... it was love at first sight!
Other
She recorded Clara Schumann's Three Romances for the National Musical Instruments Fund with her previous violin, an L. Houniet.
