Throughout this website I would like to share with you what has
been for me
an extraordinary journey and career as a musician, violinist, pianist, collaborator, recording
artist, coach, author - and help you explore some of the highlights
that made it all possible.
Through all my musical activities, the fundamental objective has always been, and remains, to share the
artistic legacy of that stellar musician and tutor, Jascha Heifetz,
(www.jaschaheifetz.org)
whose musical beliefs, teachings and art of collaboration I have
been privileged to enjoy. That uniquely rich art, descendant from
the noblest line of virtuosi and pedagogues in music history -
giants such as Dont, Joachim, Wieniawski and Auer - emphasizes preparation, presentation and communication of
the music in order to help the audience experience it in a
most satisfying manner, spiritually and emotionally.
I
welcome you to visit this site.

Special Private Coaching
For some years
now Ayke Agus has privately coached - individually and as a
chamber formation - three very young and talented brother
and sisters. The two sisters - violin and cello - together
with a pianist friend, also coached by Ayke Agus, took part
in a chamber music competition in California, 2019. They had
to compete against 15 and 16 years old musicians - and they
won the first prize.
