"Playing the cello was the first decision I took as a kid the moment I innocently started saying

that I wanted to play 'THE BIG VIOLIN'.

Since then, music has come along with my LIFE journey.

I discovered a lot playing in symphonic orchestras as well as doing chamber music.

Travelling has also given me the opportunity to meet top musicians of the instrument I dedicate all my life."
