FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE: 21st NUTCRACKER COMPETITION JURY

What an incredible week it was in Moscow at the XXIst Nutcracker Competition! Thank you everybody for making these joyful moments happen, full of wonderful music, warm friendship and interesting exchanges! What a privilege it was to listen to all these highly talented young musicians in 3 fascinating rounds, and to meet my fantastic jury colleagues, dedicated and sincere ❤
I also had the pleasure to play with the Moscow Philarmonic conducted by Mikhail Shekhtman the John Williams Escapades, and to take part in other russian TV shows. It was a great experience!
Even through these uncertain times, the future of music looks bright! Congratulations to all the contestants!
