January 7, 2026 – I HAVE BEEN INVITED

to perform at the Musikverein in Vienna!

I am thrilled to announce that I have been invited to perform as a soloist at one of the most beautiful and magnificent temples of classical music: the Musikverein in Vienna.

On January 7th, 2026, I will be singing at the Brahms-Saal in a concert celebrating the anniversaries of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky and Johann Strauss.

I am launching a CROWDFUNDING campaign to raise funds for the official recording fees. The Musikverein has strict requirements and mandatory costs for audio and video recording crews within the hall, and I need your support to capture this moment.

Thank you for being part of my musical journey and for any help you can offer at this time!
