Last week on June 18th, 2015 I had my final orchestral conducting diploma concert with the extraordinary ORF Radiosymphonie Orchester Wien (the same orchestra that also performs "Hollywood in Vienna" each year) in the Golden Hall of the Wiener Musikverein.
This concert, shared with 4 of my distinguished colleagues, marked a remarkable first time in my life as a musician and an artist.
To have the privilege to conduct the extraordinary ORF Radiosymphonie Orchester Wien, with a thrilling piece of a (sadly and unjustifiably forgotten) austrian composer who I care a lot for, in one of the greatest music halls in the whole wide world, is - to say the least - one of the grandest honours and pleasures I could have ever dreamed of.
A big thank you to the orchestra and their positive responses and honest feedbacks, to my professors for supporting and preparing me with this task, to my friends/colleagues and family that came to the concert, and to my girlfriend for all the support!
I am looking forward for Round 2 (maybe my own music being performed with this wonderful orchestra in this hall?  |

I'm gravedigging in this forum to announce that the second BabyI has just gotten his big kid bed!
Now we just need to figure out a way to keep him from wandering out of it. It's been stressful. But the bed looks great. The sheets have construction equipment on them and everything.

Can't believe I forgot to post this ..... I know I told people in chat.
Back in March I became an American Citizen after living out here for many many years. I changed my SST flag at that time, but I guess it shows everywhere so you can't see the difference |
