The article was published on the website of The Strad (thestrad.com), which is widely considered one of the world’s most prestigious and essential magazines dedicated to string instruments and classical musicians.
The text summarizes the exciting conclusion of the 2024 Princess Astrid International Music Competition in Trondheim, Norway. The editors highlight my final performance at the Olavshallen Concert Hall, where I had the immense pleasure of playing alongside the Trondheim Symphony Orchestra under the baton of conductor Anna-Maria Helsing. The article officially notes that I was awarded the First Prize, which wonderfully includes a future concert engagement with the orchestra.
Additionally, the publication briefly recounts my musical background, mentioning my studies with Professor Zakhar Bron and my previous competition successes. They also made sure to mention my beautiful G.B. Guadagnini violin, which is generously loaned to me by Florian Leonhard Fine Violins.
