Had great fun teaching a master class at EPTA-Sweden's piano day at Gävle Kulturskola! I met many talented students from Uppsala, Ekerö and Gävle. My own students (pictured) also had an opportunity to play at the final concert. A big thank you to Lana Driaguina who organized it all!

Here, a short cadenza for the third movement of Mozart's piano concerto nr 20. Composed by me 🙂. Filmed by Dayana 🤩.

I played the famous Beethoven cadenza for the first movement, unfortunately didn't get it on video. A big thank you to Borlänge Orkesterförening and conductor Bengt-Åke Lindén for inviting me to perform this wonderful concerto with you! Some more pictures coming soon.

We had a lovely time performing Nadia Boulanger's "Three pieces for cello and piano" and César Franck's "Sonata for cello and piano" at the beautiful church of Rättvik, Sweden. And of course, the evening wouldn't have been complete without the "Swan" by Camille Saint-Saëns as our last number. ❤️ Thank you Astrid Hanson Wallgren for your collaboration! Always a joy playing with you!
