Vocal Music
Vocal music forms a central point of my musical output. My fascination with voice has started long time ago, during my adolescent years where I was involved with three chorus ensembles within a single year! And that, on top of an incredibly busy academic schedule of about 12 hours per day!
My very first composition, at age seventeen, was a choral one. Though my theory teacher of that time thought that I should chose composition as my major, I did not believe in myself as being that talented. After all, I hated theory! Little did I know about the so many other composers who felt the same!
