Roots
I was born in Israel and I lived there until I moved to Switzerland in 2008.

I completed a bachelor’s degree in harpsichord in Jerusalem. This was followed by two master’s degrees in basso continuo and in improvisation at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis, as well as a doctorate at the University of Würzburg.
Professional
I give concerts and am the editor of
earlymusicsources.com.
Why
A career other than music seemed out of the question!
Elective Affinities
I love hiking and movies.
