Star violinist: ‘I am very much against competitions’

It’s not a sport… Many musicians don’t like this system. Certain students are being pushed by the jury system, in a very unfair way.’
So how to get started? ‘Try to play to important conductors, when you are ready…. A real talent will always find a way. Don’t get stressed about it.’
