Moshe shares a few words about himself:
“I started playing the clarinet in the third grade, inspired by my family where everyone plays an instrument. My Father is a composer and a piano player and my brothers chose string instruments. I chose the clarinet and really enjoy playing it. Nowadays I play in the clarinet trio and also the first clarinet at the Conservatory symphony orchestra. Apart from playing the clarinet my hobbies are basketball and soccer. My dream is to be a good musician and perform on important stages around the world.”
