Music

I’m drawn to music that speaks across time—whether it's the timeless architecture of Bach, the rich lyricism of the Romantic masters, or the bold voices of today’s composers. As a soloist and chamber musician, I love exploring a wide range of repertoire, from Baroque to contemporary, and finding the emotional through-lines that connect them. Many of the works I play have roots in European traditions, but I’m also passionate about engaging with American and living composers, which I highlighted on my debut album, Rue Paradis. For me, music is not just about where it comes from historically, but about how it resonates now—how it invites us into dialogue, reflection, and shared experience.
