I am a musician, composer and clarinetist. I enjoy performing and studying traditional Western concert music ranging from 11th century Gregorian chant to the modern avant-garde. My main interests are opera, Romantic or late Romantic symphonic works and new music that focuses on timbre and soundscapes. Some of my favorite composers include Mahler, Schubert, Beethoven, Mozart, Saint-Saens, Penderecki, Puccini, Strauss, Tchaikovsky, Àdes, and Berio. As a composer, I like writing for classical voice, mixed chamber ensembles and full orchestras.

I hope to use the knowledge that I've acquired through studying and practicing my passion in order to provide objective and concise insights into various topics regarding traditional Western music. This is a broad and large topic that deserves to have best representation and the most thorough exploration.
