Eline: Violin is my passion! I can express my imagination, stories and emotions in music and I love to perform. I have already won national prices with my performances, which motivates me to continue, because it gives me the opportunity to perform in nice places and develop towards a goal. My ambition is to play as a soloist worldwide and to let as many people as possible enjoy the violin music and to include them in the story I tell.
