Welcome to my new homepage!
And to my blog!
For a long time I struggled with the blog question… should I do this to myself? Should I do this to anyone?
Then, in the course of updating my homepage, I discovered that I am celebrating my 20th anniversary as a concertmaster this year.
I would like to share with you, dear readers, what I felt when I became aware of these 20 years, so to speak.
20 years…
Looking back, it’s been an incredibly fast journey, almost unbelievable…
In the depths of my heart, a journey of musical, human and emotional intensity, through highs and lows, through great moments, through hours of learning that you can’t force into a time frame. It is an inner richness that cannot be measured in terms of time or quality, but which also has neither a beginning nor an end.
A musical review would certainly be interesting, but not of primary importance to me personally. Instead, I would like to concentrate, albeit briefly and concisely, on the personal development that I had to and was allowed to undergo, on my feelings in this inaugural blog.
How does it feel to be a concertmaster in one of the leading symphony orchestras at the age of 24?
It makes the soul happy, but it also makes the ego happy and not a little…
You have proven something to yourself and to others, you are rightly happy and proud of your performance and your success.
How does it feel to be in a comparably young, up-and-coming symphonic orchestra in Spain after twenty years?
The soul rejoices and a deep gratitude sets in.
Gratitude to be able to integrate some of the experience I have been able to gather here, but also to develop it further within myself. Gratitude to work in an environment that allows you to open yourself wholeheartedly to music, to let go of your ego and immerse yourself in unlimited creativity.
