In SL, I can be the performer I once wished I'd be

About Me

I'm an amateur violinist in real life, and I perform solo violin recitals in the 3D virtual world Second Life.
In my real life, I live in France and am 31 years old. I started violin at 7, and since I was 12, I have been studying with a great professor who transmitted me a real passion for violin, and whom I can't thank enough. I also could study in international training and master-class sessions with great worldwide soloists. It was an honor for me to win a few years ago a First Prize at International Leopold Bellan Music Competition in Paris.
I am now performing concerts with local orchestras and various symphonic and chamber groups, as a tutti or whenever I can have the opportunity, as a soloist.
I want to keep a big place for violin in my life, as a passion, but I always had the dream of becoming a professional solo performer.
SL is giving me the chance to make this dream come true. In my second life, I can be the performer I once wished I would be.
Therefore, playing for you is a challenge and makes me very happy.
Thank you for listening !
