I'm so happy to be invited by one of the greatest musicians of our time, Sir András Schiff to participate in his "Schubertiade" chamber music project. We played "Gesang der Geister über dem Wasser" first in the Brahms Saal of the Vienna Musikverein, and we repeated this programme in the Gstaad Menuhin Festival as well. What a group of great chamber musicians, like Hariolf Schlichtig, Yuuko Shiokawa, Rafael Rosenfeld, and Xenia Jankovic, the ensemble led by Sir András Schiff!

Such a pleasure to play Vanhal's Bass Concerto with the Jerzy Semkow Polish Sinfonia Iuventus Orchestra in Warsaw under the baton of Rafal Janiak! Looking forward!

It has been a great honor and joy to play the solo double bass part of Helena Winkelman's new piece 'Sonnet 74' dedicated to me. Such an incredible feeling to play at in the Lockenhaus Chamber Music Festival! Thank you, Helena for this wonderful and touching music, I'm convinced this amazing piece will have a strong long-term place in the bass repertoire! Thank you Ilya Gringolts and Péter Szabó for the great support!
