Background
Why did you choose to work at WCM?
I wanted to be a part of a reputable institution.
Describe a musical experience or teacher that had a positive impact on you.
I had the opportunity to be mentored by a few great classical and flamenco artists: (Loris Chobanian, Manuel Barrueco, Teo Morca, and Manolo Leiva). The combination of them has led me on the path to: discover and nurture the ideas of my own musical interpretations, learning how to refine them, put the integrity of the music first, give 150% of yourself to and enjoy the process and the performance regardless of the number of people attending.
What year did you start working at WCM?
