## **Biography**

### Early Life

> "*I wish my mother were alive."
> "Was she a musician?"
> "A violinist, like my Uncle Gustave. She would play her violin, my father his piano, and I would sing. It had always been their shared dream to come here and bring our family name back into the light. It was their dream we would perform here as a family... my mother, the greatest female violinist... my father, the first Monteverdi to take the spotlight after... years of our name buried underground. And me... it was their dream that someday I'd sing here.*"
