What is the most beautiful present that music has offered you?

It is not a certain event or concert, as you may expect, but rather the joy of creating music. I am a musician who has a true love and passion for performing and fortunately this happens often, when I play to a concert or recital audience, but the joy to make music is also present during the rehearsals. This pathway to learning, assimilating and perfecting a material, a concert or a recital that is about to be played on stage, is really interesting and sometimes, you live amazing adventurous and inspirational special moments , the one you wish for more often and especially in a public concert. As a matter of fact, the presence of the audience in the hall encourages me, as it does almost all artists.

As far as I know, you are celebrating your birthday with music. You are already at the Athenaeum. Can you tell us what your future projects are?

Indeed, now I am at the Athenaeum for the rehearsal of the concerts on 24^th and 25^th January within the Philharmonic's season. As for my career as a soloist, I can announce a few of the concerts that will be held in spring. Actually, quite soon , on 1^st February, I will perform a Concert by Haendel with the Oltenia Philarmonic in Craiova, then in March I will have two performances, one of which seems more important to me, namely the concert on 12^th March at the Athenaeum, when we celebrate 125 years since the was built. And on 16^th March I will perform Light into the Future, a work by Ulpiu Vlad , with Ion Bogdan Ştefănescu. In April, I will have a busy schedule because I will perform a solo recital at the Şuţu Palace, then on 14^th April, there will be a recital at the Athenaeum and on 16^th April, a recital at the George Enescu Museum. I would rather call them rehearsals with an audience for the great concert that I will be performing on 21^th April in the opening of the first Harp Festival in Croatia.
