Q. How did you get inclined towards music? Which has been your most memorable performance till date?
A. I started my concert career when I was 16. My first performance as a professional concert pianist took place in Japan, with the Tokyo Symphony Orchestra. Many outstanding venues followed, including the Warsaw Philharmonic, Victoria Concert Hall in Singapore, The Unesco House in Geneva, etc. Each concert has something special and in a way becomes memorable. My recent concert tour in Australia has been a memorable experience, both for the acclaim it garnered and the warmth of the people I met there.
