What are your favorite tracks for continuous listening?

If I am alive in 100 years, I will definitely still be listening to Bruckner’s Ninth with the same admiration and love as I do now. Hopefully, future generations will also learn to appreciate and love it.

What brings you the most joy in life?

The main hobby of mine is being a good father to my three gorgeous children and a loving and supportive husband to my beautiful wife.

What’s your dream goal?

My aspirations extend beyond the realm of music. I envision a brighter future where empathy and understanding prevail, where we embrace our differences and learn to truly accept one another. Even if it doesn’t happen in my lifetime, I hope to leave a legacy of compassion for my children and grandchildren to inherit.

Utopia in three words?

Energetic, inspiring orchestra.
