I was 3 years old, sitting on my mother`s knees, Arthur Rubinstein was playing a Chopin nocturne and what i remember is tears: everyone around me was moved to tears. What do young musicians dream of? to move people, to be inspired by masters, to play in magical places, to feel nurtured, to play with an orchestra. We do all this in What matters to me most is for music to affect people. We read the tale written by the composer with our playing hands, to the audience, our singing tone speaking the music meant to resonate with all. To know what makes music great, to have it come alive is our mission. There are millions of musicians in the world: with energy and passion, our passion could move the world.
