When I was 11 years old, studying violin at INTEMPO, I listened to a recording of Hilary Hahn playing the Sibelius Violin Concerto. Before that, I wasn\u2019t super dedicated to music. I was more focused on dance. But hearing Hahn capture emotion and make her audience feel something \u2014 that really inspired me to be able to play like that, too. My grandpa really wanted me to play the charango for his 80th birthday, which is why I started learning it at INTEMPO when I was six. Because I\u2019m Peruvian, the charango is part of my culture. It\u2019s a really good foundation for the violin, even though they\u2019re extremely different instruments that challenge you to express music in different ways. Two summers ago, I participated in the YOLA National Festival in California, which was amazing, especially meeting Dudamel. Last year, I performed Wieniawski\u2019s L\u00e9gende with Orchestra Lumos \u2014 my first time soloing with an orchestra. I was really nervous, but I really liked it. I also toured Salzburg, Vienna, and Prague with the Norwalk Youth Symphony. Recently, I had just finished Lalo\u2019s Symphonie Espagnole, and my INTEMPO violin teacher Darwin Shen let me pick a piece this time. And I said I wanted to do the Sibelius. Since then, I\u2019ve had my ups and downs with it, but I love it. In December, I premiered the third movement at INTEMPO\u2019s winter recital. That was the first super difficult piece that I\u2019ve played for a recital, not to mention the significance of it being the piece that made me fall in love with the violin. I want to perform it again once I improve it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
