Nina Kotova
Last night, my sis, Darius and I attended an SSO concert featuring Russian cellist, Nina Kotova. She's a model-turned-cellist and she performed Dvorak's Cello Concerto. We caught a glimpse of her during interval, and she's very pretty and looks younger than her 35yrs.
This afternoon, I rehearsed Shostakovich's 2nd Cello Concerto with her at the conservatory, and I had a chance to chat a little with her. She's very warm and friendly, without any diva airs. She also wrote me a nice little note on my score as an autograph.
What a lady! :)
