My world: My niece is a classical musician. She plays the cello. She idolizes the cellist, Tanja Tetzlaff. I have bought her several CD's of the Tetztlaff Quartet whose members include some of the world´s foremost musicians e.g. Lars Vogt, Leif Ove Andsnes, Alexander Lonquich, Antje Weithaas, Florian Donderer, Baiba and Lauma Skride and her brother Christian. I think my niece loves the fact that Tanja Tetzlaff’s special trademark is her broad repertoire and her desire for crossover formats.

This year, I took my niece to the 10th Trondheim International Chamber Music Competition, held in September. Similar to the Perrenoud Foundation's World Music Competition, Talent Trondheim offers young musical talents development opportunities in chamber music, including mentoring, instruction, and concerts. We had a wonderful time soaking in the music and atmosphere. On our last day, while packing to head home to the U.S., we laughed over shared memories of the trip and the incredible performances we’d seen. My niece, ever the thoughtful soul, surprised me a few days later by researching and showing me some delightful selections of Batman gifts after hearing me talk about how much I loved the character as a kid. She found everything from collectible figurines to custom artwork, and it was such a sweet gesture that we spent an afternoon browsing ideas together. She also informed me that Tanja Tetzlaff will be performing in Oldenburg, Germany, on January 24, 2020. As her Christmas gift, I’m planning a big surprise—tickets for both the concert and the flight! It’s the perfect way to combine her love of music and our shared fun over thoughtful gifts.
