About

The inspiration behind my programming style goes back to the moment I first fell in love with classical piano music as a child. Back then, I couldn’t explain why I felt so deeply drawn to it. Years of training, searching, and exploring eventually helped me understand: classical music is powerful because it carries the distilled life lessons of the composers — their challenges, hardships, and hopes — and these emotional truths allow people from any background to connect with the music in a meaningful and timeless way.

This is why, in my programs, I pair works with personal stories that reflect the pivotal moments of my own life. Through storytelling, I aim to offer audiences an experience that brings them closer to these great works — making the classical repertoire feel not distant, but deeply personal — and inviting them to reflect on their own life experiences through the lens of these timeless masterpieces.
