It's been quite a productive third contract so far! Emilie and I already put on a recital project - Masterworks: Franck, featuring the Cesar Franck's Sonata in A major for Violin and Piano. It was a really rewarding process to finally learn this demanding collaborative work and to present it in such a short amount of time. More music to come! 

What a week it's been - great adventures exploring the Imperial Palace, trying delicious street foods, and making wonderful music. Thank you to the Central Conservatory of Music in Beijing for being such generous hosts and offering us this opportunity! 

It's been a wonderful first year in Montreal - full of new friends, new experiences, and the privilege to make so much great music. I love this city so much - its people, its quaint streets and delicious foods, its abundance of art and life and inspiration. 

I really can’t put to words how much I love sharing music, how much it means to me. I am so grateful. Thank you to such a warm and supportive orchestra, thank you Claude for this opportunity, for this special, memorable, passionate collaboration. Thank you, Rachmaninoff.
