Noémie Bialobroda
Born in:
Paris
Current centre of life:
Geneva
Instrument:
Viola
Second, third or even fourth instrument:
Piano and violin when I was younger.
My career aspiration as a child:
Musician.
This was the profession my parents envisioned for me:
Mathematician
Works or concert experiences that shaped me:
Grigory Sokolov’s recital at the Verbier Festival 2013
Work with the greatest music-making pleasure (and why?):
Mendelssohn’s Octet
I would like a work for my instrument by this composer (and why?):
Beethoven
I would get up in the middle of the night for that:
Muesli with yoghurt
Special / curious own concert experience:
On our US tour with the Aviv Quartet, we missed our flight once and had to take another connection. Because we were so late, I had to change into my concert dress on the plane.
My most valuable tip for the next generation of musicians:
Play a lot of chamber music!
That's what I wish for the future of the classical music scene:
That we maintain our high standards and integrity.
My next project:
To create a new chamber music series for the Haute Ecole de Musique de Genève, bringing together students and teachers.
That's what I associate with Leipzig as a city of music:
Johann Sebastian Bach and Felix Mendelssohn
