As musicians, what we strive for most is for our work to make people feel something, whether it be a source of comfort or an exhilarating high.
Improvisation gives musicians an innate understanding of why composers make certain choices, develop a subconscious sense of style, cultivate discerned tastes in melodic lines, and form a complex vocabulary of harmony and resolution.

I have faith that classical music will remain as a great inspiration for the future – particularly if you play music you really love and identify with
It’s always a few notes, a phrase, a shared moment on stage, during which you know why you’re doing it all, at least as long as the music sounds… That can happen in every concert.
