How to Perform Under Pressure — Rising Stars Violin Duo Hina & Fiona

Two sisters and their methods for shifting performance nerves into joyful performances.

Hina & Fiona are sisters and a world-class violin duo. They are Juilliard-trained under Itzhak Perlman and Midori, with Fiona making her New York Philharmonic debut at 16, Hina winning the Elmar Oliveira International Violin Competition, and their debut album Dear to Us out now on Pentatone.

In this episode, Dr. Juna talks with them about the mental game of performing under pressure: how to flip from your harshest critic in the practice room to your most convicted self on stage, why they refuse to lean on pre-show rituals, how they recover from a mistake mid-performance, and the adaptability that keeps them calm when nothing ever goes exactly as planned.

It's a RELAX TO SOAR™ conversation about the "A" in SOAR — adaptability — Hina talks about how RELAX TO SOAR is a concept she thinks about before she walks on stage.
