Being happy in general helps me approach concerts with a positive mindset, focusing on sharing music rather than performance pressure.

I've had concerts where everything goes wrong, yet I perform well, which I attribute to a carefree attitude that allows me to play freely.

At the end of the day, a concert is about connecting with the audience and bringing emotion into the performance, rather than worrying about mistakes.

A silly mindset helps me perform at my best on stage, allowing me to connect with the audience more effectively.

I have a pre-performance philosophy where I avoid using the word 'nervous' and instead use 'excited' to change my mindset.

Despite the challenges of performing frequently, I aimed to give every concert my full emotional effort, which was a significant learning experience for me. The experience of performing the Sasha Waltz piece has been both amazing and frustrating for me, as I've played it too many times and felt pressured to perform it on various shows.

Performing in concerts is very different from competing; it has been liberating to express myself freely without the strategic elements of competition.

On concert day, I prefer to stay in my hotel room, practicing very little, usually just a short session in the morning and maybe an hour before the performance.

I dislike the idea of a definitive performance; every musician brings their own interpretation, which is valuable.
