A huge honor to be Jury chairman of the Malta International Conducting Competition, this year in Kiev, Ukraine. The competition was hosted at the Tchaikovsky National Music Academy in Kiev.

Bravo to all the finalists and of course to the winners. And thank you Kyiv Symphony Orchestra, you really ROCKED!!

The week before the Competition I gave a conducting masterclass at the same Tchaikovsky National Music Academy in Kiev. With 10 very talented students from France, Germany, Poland, Austria, Switzerland, China, Korea, Holland, Belgium. You were really wonderful, you gave me so much inspiration and I will miss you!!
