CAN YOU IMAGINE YOURSELF AS ANYTHING ELSE BUT A MUSICIAN?
Music has been my life since my early childhood, and I can’t imagine living without it.
WHAT MAKES WORKING WITH MUSICAETERNA SPECIAL?
I’ve recently joined musicAeterna, and I’m still absolutely delighted. The joy of being here pushes me to develop my skills further. Working with such a troupe makes me truly happy. There’s a great vibe of friendliness and mutual support within the ensemble — and, of course, we make high-quality music for our listeners.
ASIDE FROM MUSIC, WHAT ELSE ARE YOU INTERESTED IN?
I’m always open to everything new. I’m particularly interested in different peoples’ languages and culture. I’ve been listening to a lot of ethnic music lately, which has revealed to me many nuances in how various peoples’ folk songs sound. I’m also interested in teaching and management. I love working on all sorts of projects. However, everything we do and everything we strive for is done with the listener in mind.
