Telling music’s story – with heart and mind
Music has always been a space of freedom for me – a realm where sound and emotion form a language that reaches beyond words. From an early age, I was fortunate to be supported by inspiring mentors who deepened my love for music and nurtured my artistic curiosity. My studies with Karl-Heinz Kämmerling left a lasting impression, especially his emphasis on musical integrity, structural clarity and artistic humility.
Chamber music is at the core of my musical life. It is more than just playing together – it is an ongoing dialogue: with my fellow musicians, with the audience, and with the works themselves. Since founding the Boulanger Trio, I have found in it a space of deep artistic exchange, where tradition and innovation meet and where the familiar and the unknown can coexist and inspire. Giving voice to underrepresented composers, especially women and contemporary voices, is a central part of our mission.
As an interpreter, I do not see myself as conveying certainties but rather as a seeker. Every score is a universe, every performance a new beginning. Sharing this openness – through concerts, teaching and conversation – is as important to me as the act of playing itself.
