Dream role/project/work: My dream is that one day I can conduct/play with my own orchestra and make Rameau’s Indes Galantes. [Amoung other works]  

 

Here I find inspiration: All over! Every note, every sound, every breath, every flavor, every person… Everything and everyone is in your life for a reason! I find [baroque] music to be a way to express my deepest inner feelings and transcend the world connecting me to a higher self. 

 

Vadstena-Akademien to me is: An incredible and heavenly opportunity to study, make music and make new friends in a different and stimulating environment/country.
