Musicians avoid @vueling! I paid to carry my violin on board to place in the overhead and I’m still being charged an additional €55 at the gate because it’s an instrument.

What can I say, I freaking love birthdays! But I’m also a bit biased so July 10 is my absolute fave. 😉

Pressed ‘pause’ on the play for an extended holiday with a few of my faves for my birthday this year and it’s been life-giving!

Thanks to everyone who was there, sent well wishes, cheered me on, hyped me up, patiently listened to me practice the same passages over and over, and supported me at any point along my journey to get here. I appreciate and love you!

Aaron Copland’s Appalachian Spring will forever bring me back to the last few days we shared in London rehearsing and performing the 13 instrument arrangement of his stunning work!

Thank you Pumpkin, Tom & Hilary for bringing this magical moment to life with all of us. 💖

@Wigmore_Hall with Hilary Hahn @ViolinCase + @KaleidoChamber was an absolute dream come true last night.

It was so very special (def a highlight of my career) to share the stage with such brilliant performers, beautiful human beings and a hilariously fun group of people!

Birthday tings with my favorite birthday boy. 🖤

Treated him to some Formula One driving lessons and now I have to remind him that our Camry is not a Lamborghini. 🤦🏽‍♀️
