What have been the greatest challenges of your career so far?
You never stop trying to improve as a musician so every concert or practise session is challenge in that respect. There are certain moments that I look back on such as the final of the Manchester International Violin Competition and the first time performing live on BBC Radio 3. Both were very challenging and exciting. Finding an instrument was also a huge challenge. After approaching the Stradivari Trust, they kindly helped by setting up a syndicate to acquire my beautiful Joseph Gagliano violin dated 1795. I am very grateful to them as their support has been invaluable in the development and stability of my career.
