Carl Høy Larsen age 20 - Danish: Carl started playing cello in the local music school in Hjørring when he was 7 years old. And soon he became member of the regional Youth Symphony Orchestra, NUS. Since 2015 he has participated in the yearly “Side by Side” Summer
Camp, organized by GSO (Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra). In 2016 during the Camp he had his first cello lesson with
Peter Schöning. Peter is a very inspiring teacher, and Carl decided to pursue a career as a cellist, practicing hard with his
cello and traveling to Gothenborg several times a year.
In 2020 Carl was Admitted to MGK (the Danish National Music Talent Academy). The year after, at the age of 16, he
finished his Elementary School in Denmark and moved on his own to Gothenburg to go to High School at “Hvitfeldtska
Gymnasiet, Estetiska programmet, Musikspets” (Music Talent Program). He graduated in 2024 and is now pursuing his
musical education at Malmö Music Academy from September 2024. Instrument Cello made by Emil Hjorth & Sons, 1914

Udover det udøvende aspekt har Sofie også en stor passion for udbredelsen af klassisk musik og formidling. Dette kommer især til udtryk gennem hendes arbejde som programmedarbejder og journalist på DR P2, hvor hun får mulighed for at kombinere sine musikalske og retoriske færdigheder, ved siden af at hun holder sit eget spil ved lige.
Tristan Oliver Watzlawik-Roemer (Rømer) - Age: 13 years - American, Danish:
"As an educator with 30 years of experience in music instruction, I have had the pleasure of witnessing countless students develop their artistry. However, Tristan stands out among his peers for his exceptional dedication, musicality, and innate ability to connect with the cello. His journey over the past few years has been nothing short of inspiring, and I am confident that he has the potential to make a significant impact in the world of music."
