1. What is your first choir memory?

Leading our kids’ choir to victory in a local competition, filled with nervousness and excitement, remains my cherished first choir memory.

Meeting Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart would have been fascinating due to his innovative compositions and musical genius.

I love to combine choral music with visual arts, it creates a multisensory experience for the audience.

5. What would you have wanted to become, if not a professional musician?

If not a professional musician, I would have pursued a career in literature, driven by a passion for storytelling.

6. How do you stay up-to-date for your job as a conductor?

I explore diverse musical genres a lot, attend workshops and collaborate with fellow musicians.
