Favorite museum
A tie between the Uffizi Gallery and the Palazzo Pitti (both in Florence, Italy)
First concert I remember attending
When I was about 9, my dad took me to an amazing solo flute concert in a small museum gallery in Baltimore. I had just started to learn the clarinet, and it made me so excited to see what people could do with a future in music!
Dream trip
I would love to go to Japan someday!
