My name is Gerda, I am a professional double bassist who graduated in June 2022 with my Masters degree at the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire, in Professor Thomas Martin's class. I received my Bachelors degree at the Liszt Academy of Music in 2017. After graduating, I stayed in Birmingham, and currently freelancing with orchestras such as the Oxford Philharmonic Orchestra and the Royal Scottish National Orchestra. I also got invited to teach at the Leeds Conservatoire, where I am currently the classical double bass teacher and lecturer. I was awarded first prize at the Lajos Montag National Double bass competition and won the prize for the best performance of the obligatory piece in 2017. I also got first prize in Slovakia, at the Dittersdorf International Double Bass Competition in 2019. I was invited to participate at the International Giovanni Bottesini Competition this summer in Crema. In 2020, I won a place at the Metropolitan Opera House Orchestra's musicians masterclass, which was held online. I was the double bassist of the Divertimento Chamber Orchestra for 3 years.
