It’s not about being perfect …

It’s not about being perfect. It’s that we are real, sincere, spontaneous. Take risks and commit to our beliefs, take confidence in our ideas and embrace our strengths and limitations. Find joy and excitement in the unknown, unexpected, unpredictable. 

Every time we step on stage we are vulnerable. We are exposing such a personal part of ourselves, putting ourselves out there. So I always appreciate every performance I hear by my friends and colleagues - the courage, hardwork, passion it takes to get there ... it’s so remarkable that we continue to challenge ourselves like this for the sake of sharing all the incredible music there is out there. 

Just wanted to shout out to the many beautiful people I’ve met and heard recently whom I’ve given a much more extended version of this encouragement speech to 😂🥰💘, please keep doing what you do, I appreciate and love your music so genuinely. 

So, here is my full Mozart sonata, not perfect - it never goes completely according to plan, but that’s part of the thrill and magic of performing live on stage. As long as I achieved the core essence of the piece, and that those feelings and sincerity reached someone, then I have accomplished my goal. In this case - lots of smiles and joy with a sparkly witty charming Mozart!
