With the current pandemic, the state of the music and touring industry has dramatically changed. Where were you when everything was brought to a halt?
I was in the Netherlands, planning to travel to Wolfenbüttel in Germany to perform at their fortepiano festival.
How has that affected your plans for the coming months? Did you have a tour planned, upcoming album release?
Unfortunately, a lot of concerts were cancelled, but I managed to still get my next album release in order, and it will be released on 30 November 2020 with Etcetera Records.
What have you been doing to fill/make the most of your new-found free time at home?
I have been working on new programs, developing new skills, new entrepreneurial initiatives, and my artistic research dissertation.
What was the first thing you did/place you went to now the country is starting to slowly re-open?
Going with friends to have a beer.
Do you have a message for everyone at home reading this?
For those stuck at home, according to Cicero: "If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need." And I'll add one extra thing to that: a musical spirit and an instrument to realize it.
