My name is Tekla and I come from Sweden. I am 18 years old and I have been playing violin since the age of 5. At the age of 15, I moved from Gothenburg to Stockholm to study at the high school Nordiska Musikgymnasiet with my current teacher Agata Kawa-Cajler. Alongside the violin, I also play piano and participate in various choirs.
In 2018-2021 I have participated in the summer course Kallkursen for violin solo. Since 2017, I have been a member of the VĂ„GUS-orchestra, a symphony orchestra for young musicians. In August 2023, I played in the summer course-orchestra Concertgebouworkest Young in the Netherlands.
