When did you start playing the piano?
I started at the age of 5 when my teachers at kindergarten meant that I am singing so beautiful.
When did you knew, playing the piano was your dream?
At my very first public concert appearance at the age of five, I immediately knew: this is it!
Where was the most significant presentation you had, and why?
Although I performed at different concert halls all over Europe and even overseas I still feel very excited to give a concert in Vienna at Musikverein or Konzerthaus with my family and friends in the audience.
With which artist, you would like to perform?
I do not have any names in my mind, more important to me seems to be that we find the right energy between us.
What is your next goal?
Besides to have more interesting performances in amazing concert halls I would like to focus more on my educational activity with my scholars.
