1987-2022: a life dedicated to music, a life on stage. More than 2,000 concerts in 93 countries, on five continents: this year marks the 35 of career! I feel the weight of time passed, but having played all over the world has made my existence truly unique. I have visited incredible places, trod unforgettable stages, met inspiring people and performed timeless masterpieces. Of course, I have endured loneliness: the violin has been my only constant companion on this journey. Sleeping on different pillows, in desolately empty beds, has often tested my ability to find fulfillment within myself. But I have lived 35 extraordinary years and, if I could, I would relive them a thousand times over. Many thanks to the music, my greatest teacher and my best friend.
