When did you start playing the violin?

With 5

When did you knew, playing the violin was your dream?

I’m the 4th generation violinist, so I only remember myself with the violin in my hands. Then after I realized that it was actually what I love and wanna keep on doing! Violin is like a relationship – I have to treat it for 100%

Where was the most significant presentation you had, and why?

Every concert is important. Performing in La Scala or on a Stadion, or for 3 friends at home, or for a cow on a village field – I need to play on maximum and every time I play the violin I give my best. But of course, significant places like Carnegie Hall, Musikverein, La Scala, are amazing meccas where all the greatest artists performed and perform and will perform. It’s a great feeling to be part of it.

With which artist, you would like to perform?

Many. Zubin Mehta, David Guetta…Lady Gaga?!:) I’d like to perform with many great artists, no matter which musical field.

How does it feel to play a Stradivarius?

Like you have a Leonardo Da Vinci painting at home? 🙂 it’s great, and this instrument is like the best magic stick for Harry Potter, it chose me, I didn’t choose it!

When did you decide to be part of this wonderful charity to support children with autism?

I heard that in Austria autism is really not recognized, and there is no awareness. And those people are sometimes extremely talented. We should provide treatment for them before they turn 12 years old, but most people are unaware of it, as well as it’s very expensive to treat it in Austria. We hope to change that, and make the situation for these people better.

How does it feel, to be part of such an important charity?

I’m working on many causes, and try to organize and be part of as many initiatives to improve our world as possible.

You just won the Echo Classic award, what does it mean to you to win such a prestigious award?

I’m extremely thankful and need to work even harder now!:)
