Tilly plays the cello with a warmth and depth that seems to make time pause. Whether performing on stage or practicing alone in the quiet of her studio, she pours her whole heart into each note. Her favorite part of playing isn’t the applause or the precision—it’s the way her cello's low, resonant tones feel like they’re speaking directly to her. Tilly plays a single lullaby to her cello before every performance, calling it their “moment to breathe together.” It’s a tender ritual reflecting her deep bond with her instrument and music.
