“One is very lucky when their job brings joy and pleasure. For me the work with the orchestra is not just a job, but a way of life. I enjoy the concerts and performing on stage, getting inspiration from the simplicity and the beauty of everyday things. When I want to relax, I take walks in nature or mountain hikes. At home I like to read a good book or to enjoy a good film or series. Small things make me happy: the smile on my family’s faces, a good film, talks with a dear person, cooking with people close to me.”
