Since 2022 I have had the privilege to play double bass with the Orchestre des Nations (ODN) in Geneva, Switzerland. Led by its founder and extraordinary director Antoine Marguier, the ODN brings together non-professional musicians from around the globe to create unforgettable musical events, often with a humanitarian theme and in support of charities.

The ODN has played with many international star musicians since its inception in 2011, including sopranos Renée Fleming and Pretty Yende and guitarist Miloš Karadaglić. The orchestra provides amateur players like myself with an unrivalled creative learning environment dedicated to improving the craft of playing music.
