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

It was my first time in Japan and I think Sapporo was the perfect city to stay in. It was both calm and energetic at the same time. The food was absolutely incredible and the people are so welcoming and delightful. I’m definitely coming back to Sapporo.

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

My time at PMF is one of the best highlights of my musical studies. Sharing the stage with such profound musicians who love what they do, is an incomparable feeling. PMF sets the standard of preparation so high that when all the players get together with the conductor, we create something magical for the audience to experience.

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

My advice for musicians who want to audition for PMF is - go for it! Not only you will be making high quality music with your friends and sharing it with people, you will also be learning from PMF faculty who are the best artists in the world and all of that combined with having the opportunity to travel to Japan and explore this wonderful country. The PMF staff is also one of the friendliest, most supportive and organized people I’ve had the pleasure to work with.
