Feeling grateful for these priceless moments… The beauty of the Grand Hall's transcends words; one must be here to truly experience it!

Blessed in our unbridled quest for our musical growth. What an incredible three days it has been at the Cello Masterclass with Emeritus Professor Csaba Onczay from Zeneakadémia / Liszt Academy and Mr Zoltán Onczay. We've had the privilege of learning from these renowned musicians, both who are so ever generous in sharing their wisdom, diving deep into technique, expression, and the pure joy of making music. From intense masterclass sessions to a treasure trove of musical knowledge, every moment was a testament to our passion and love for the cello.

Just wrapped up an incredible week in Budapest! 🎻 The experience was unforgettable, filled with inspiring practice sessions, amazing performances, and enriching cultural experiences. The architectural beauty, rich heritage, and vibrant culture of Budapest made this musical journey truly special.

Thank you Mediacorp Symphony 924 for the lovely afternoon!

From rotten strawberries and Cello High streets to Grandma vibrato and story telling.

The analogies and metaphors make learning so much more engaging and fun. A delightful masterclass packed with so many moments of playful quaints and nuggets of musical wisdom.
