***Favorite BSO Memory So Far: Playing Shostakovich Violin Concerto no. 1 with Augustin Hadelich was very memorable for me because he is my favorite violinist!

***Favorite Restaurant In Baltimore: I live right next to Di Pasquale’s, an Italian deli and market, and make very frequent trips there for lunch and occasional groceries!

***Pets: Teacup Morkie that lives with my parents in Tokyo. Her name is Nico, after Niccolò Paganini. She doesn’t even weigh 5 pounds but is super bossy! 95% of our family chat is exchanging photos of her. She is the absolute cutest!
