Born into a musical family, Valdemar Wenzel Most began his musical journey with both piano and cello, and also sang as a boy soprano in the Copenhagen Royal Chapel Choir. He performed as one of the three boys in Mozart’s Tryllefløjten at the Royal Danish Opera, and he currently studies piano with Bella Zapolski.
