Bachelor Recital

📖 1 min read.

Looking back on my bachelor recital in the Neuer Saal West at the Folkwang University of the Arts, it feels like much more than just a graduation requirement. It marks the conclusion of a seven-year journey and my final project working alongside Professor Tomasz Zawierucha.

Putting together a one-hour mixed-epoch program is always a challenge, but this one had a few unique twists: alongside the core repertoire, it featured an ad-hoc piece and another work I fresh-learned in just one week—a true test of nerves and musicianship!

A massive thank you to everyone who came out to support, to Tomasz for seven years of invaluable mentorship, and to all the friends and family who shared this milestone with me.
The chapter at Folkwang closes, but the music goes on!
