I had the pleasure to be awarded two prices:
- 2nd prize in the category ‘Soloists up to the age of 26’
- 2nd prize for ‘Best performance of an Israeli piece’ shared with talented french recorder player Guillaume Beaulieu.

I certainly will never take such prizes for granted, but it certainly pushes and motivates me to go on with what I do with passion and dedication while defending the music I believe in!
