Music

I usually perform a wide range of music, from classical staples to contemporary works, but I’m particularly drawn to pieces that allow for deep expression and cultural connection. While much of my repertoire is rooted in Western classical traditions, I also explore music from around the world—Central Asian melodies, Afro-Caribbean rhythms, and Georgian miniatures.
