She already sounds like a pro.

[@turboturtle8977]

She is a pro. In 2019 she won the ISB and was guest principal at the Israel Phil.. She is already in my hall of fame along with Lorraine Campet, and Lauren Pierce in Classical Music , and not forgetting Espranza Spalding in Jazz. For me, Nina looks too big for her bass, in the best meaning. Women on the bass, in space, in power, I love it.

She's far better than alot of pros, me included
