About the Artist

Onde tunger skal ha det til at bratsjister ofte føler et mindreverdighetskompleks ovenfor fiolinister. Lykke til med å finne noe av det hos Lilli.

Smart som hun er (hun er fakultetsansvarlig for bratsj ved Sibeliusakademiet), så vet hun at kammermusikken ikke er noe uten bratsjen. Hun har jo studert sin Haydn, og vet at han mente alle fire instrumentene var like viktige i strykekvartetten. Hva er vel mer kammermusikk enn strykekvartetten?

Det at hun også brukte fjoråret på å spre en deilig energi gjennom musikergjengen er også uvurderlig for oss. Lilli ville vi ha tilbake!
