For me it's a pleasure to be member of the 2022 PMF. I am sure, we will have a good time there this summer. Japan is an incredible country.

【After PMF 2022】What are some impressions of your time in Sapporo?

Sapporo (and Japan) is a place I fell in love with. We had a lot of free time to enjoy the city and discover the most interesting places there. The opportunity to play and rehearse everyday in this amazing Kithara Hall, is awesome. I could not forget the food there... People and friends before this festival told me that in Sapporo is the best place to get the best food. I totally agree...

【After PMF 2022】What did you take away from your time at PMF?

First of all, the expericience I had with my PMF colleages there (especially the low brass). We were more than three weeks together and we didn't know each other and we set up a friendship forever. That is something I love from the young orchestras. I have to say that the concerts we had with Lahav Shani were awesome! In the other hand I liked a lot the Couches we had, I learnt a lot from them last summer. The Concerts we could enjoy from them were unbelievable. Finally, I would like to make a special mention to the entire PMF Staff. They are incredible!!!!!!!

【After PMF 2022】What advice would you give to people thinking of auditioning for PMF?

First of all, never give up. I had to apply 3 times until I got it. I think this festival is amazing and they should try every year. I think they have to enjoy and make music in the audition.
