I believe instrumental music is one of the ways to be present to the transcendent mysteries of life.
It is unlocking in me the freedom to express - through touching both psychological and technical issues of playing the cello.
In my free time, I love road cycling in the beautiful landscapes of Switzerland and being active. Another way I like to release energy is by attending all sorts of electronic-music and jazz events. Apart from music, my second passion I am pursuing professionally is mathematics and economics.
