Music, Movies, and Books

I'm a classical musician by training, clarinet player, also play Klezmer music, and improv. Also love jazz, electronic music, afrobeat, and lots of others.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Difficult to choose...
Slept on various mountains with breathtaking views, played in some cool orchestras etc.

Teach, Learn, Share

"Each time we go out, the world is open and free; it offers itself graciously to our hearts, to create something new and wholesome from it everyday."
"Umuntu ngumuntu ngabantu" - "A person is a person through other people"... strikingly different to the individualistic western thinking
