About me

Born on 4 July 2002 in Slovenia, in the Postojna Maternity Hospital, I lived in the city of Ljubljana until end 2004, when my family moved to Brussels, Belgium. I stayed there until July 2007, when we settled in Luxembourg.
From 2007 to 2017, I went to the European School Luxembourg II, the French section, and from 2017 to 2019, I continued my secondary studies in a French home-schooling programme.
I am quadrilingual (French, English, Slovenian, and Chinese).
I like reading, I have a healthy lifestyle and I practice fitness, jogging, hiking, and cycling. I occasionally practice other sports, such as swimming or skiing (Bronze Star at the French Ski School). I love animals and I am a happy owner of Neo, a White Swiss Shepherd.

Performing experience

Since the age of six, I have been making dozens of public appearances every year and have already performed in nineteen countries, including China and USA, and in several prestigious halls, such as Carnegie Hall in New York, Gaveau and Poirel in France, Philharmonic Halls in Luxembourg, Slovakia, Slovenia and Ukraine (Lviv), Konzerthaus in Berlin, Gasteig and Münchner Künstlerhaus in Munich, Ehrbar in Vienna, Wigmore Hall in London, Cankar Cultural Centre in Slovenia, Guangzhou Grand Theatre and Shanghai Concert Hall in China etc. My repertoire covers practically all periods and I also proudly present contemporary pieces, sometimes written for me or for the duet with my brother.

I gave my first standard solo recital at the age of eleven. I played with an orchestra for the first time when I was eight and since then, I have made more than a dozen appearances in concertos by J. C. Bach, Beethoven, Berkovich, Chopin, Haydn, Mozart, Prokofiev, Tchaikovsky and Ravel. More recently, I started playing chamber music (piano duet and duo with my younger brother, piano trio, etc.).

I have performed mainly as a soloist but also as a chamber musician in different festivals in a dozen European countries, for example Flagey Piano Days and Classissimo in Brussels, Sofia Music Weeks in Bulgaria, World New Music Days in Slovakia, Scriabin+ Festival in Luxembourg, Rungis Piano-Piano Festival in France etc.

Music studies

I began discovering music from 2005 to 2007 in weekly workshops for children at La Chaise Musicale in Brussels and started with private piano lessons at the age of five in Luxembourg.
In 2008, I entered the Conservatory of the City of Luxembourg, where I have obtained all available diplomas in piano performance, a diploma in chamber music and several diplomas in music theory (solfeggio, counterpoint, harmony, music analysis, sight-reading, and history of music). My first piano teacher there was Marco Kraus and after his retirement I continued with Jean Muller.
From 2012 to 2016, I studied in parallel at the Queen Elisabeth Music Chapel in Brussels, in the piano section (category ‘Young Artists’), headed by Maria João Pires with Sylvia Thereza as assistant. I continued as the only ‘Young Artist’ with Louis Lortie, the new master in residence, and his assistant Avedis Kouyoumdjian until May 2018, when I passed the ‘Young Artist Diploma’ exam.
After successful auditions in December 2018, I was accepted in the Bachelor of Music (Honours) programme at the Royal College of Music in London (UK). I started as a fresher in September 2019 and I graduated in July 2023 (First Class). I am now in the second year of the Master of Music in Performance (Keyboard) programme. My piano professor is Norma Fisher.
