Biografi

Imagine the impression it makes to hear and see Mozart’s The Marriage of Figaro as a four-year-old, and your father is singing in it? Later you go and listen to the local church choir where your mother sings, and your father is the conductor. What an entrance into classical music.

Aine’s journey started in Japan and took her to the Liszt Academy in Budapest and the Royal College of Music in London. But believe it or not, it was actually the violin she studied at both locations. However, the desire for the viola was there, so she went to Madrid, and the Queen Sofia College to become a violist.

And as easy as that that, you become a sought-after musician who has played in most of the major music halls in the world, and now is the principal viola at the Opera.
