Why did you choose to become a musician?
My interest in music was awakened at the age of 8, when I started using the Suzuki method at Vejle Music School. My mother, who played the piano, supported me during the first difficult years when (to be honest) it didn't sound very good!

But at the same time as the quality of the music increased, my interest grew.

What is your greatest experience as a musician?
It was a great experience for me to play in the Berlin Philharmonic on our German tour in 2004.

A little about yourself outside the concert hall:
The family, my husband and 3 children naturally come first.

I love gardening and find it exciting to restore houses. Built a violin myself in 1992. Likes to do sports (former competitive swimmer) to be able to keep up with my sedentary work.
