It is an honor for me to participate at this event and I am happy to play piano to the invited audience.

I would like to share with you some of my musical performances and achievements, along with my message: Music is a universal Art that connects people regardless of nation or origin.

I’m studying the piano through the Royal Conservatory of Music program and I graduated from the last degree of conservatory; RCM 10 piano.

I continue my musical education through the ARCT program – Associate of the Royal Conservatory of Toronto.

I work and collaborate on this program with my teacher and mentor, the pianist, musician and composer Teo Milea.

The ARCT Diploma is recognized internationally and is one of the highest academic credentials awarded by The Royal Conservatory.
I participated in Piano Concerts and Music Events organized in Canada and the United States of America:

In December 2016, celebrating the National Day of Romania, I had a piano recital at the Consulate General of Romania in Toronto.

In May 2017, I competed at the Peel Music Festival, where I won the Golden Medal for piano accompaniment.

In December 2017, I had a piano recital at Christmas Concert – Long & McQuade, Toronto.

In April 2018, I competed at the North York Music Festival, at four piano sections and I won three first places and one third place. For this performance I was awarded First Place Trophy at the Gala Concert & Awards Ceremony.

In May 2018, I had a piano recital at Children Music Festival, Oakville.

In May 2018, I performed at Spring Piano Recital – Solo Piano Studio at 345 Gallery, Toronto.

In July 2018, I had a piano recital and a personal interview at TVR International – Romanian national broadcast television network, in Bucharest.

Most recently, I had a piano recital at Koerner Hall in Toronto, on September 29th.

I also study Clarinet at the same level of performance as the Piano.

Through the school music program, I am a member of the Senior Wind Symphony, Wind Orchestra, Wind Ensemble and Jazz Band, performing concerts at the Living Arts Center.

I was selected at the Honors Performance Series concert at Carnegie Hall in New York City, after I competed with finalists from the United States and Canada.

I performed clarinet in Carnegie Hall concerts in June 2016 and June 2017, one of the most prestigious scenes in the world; a remarkable experience with the chance to meet new musicians and collaborate with master Music Conductors.

I performed for the third consecutive year, at Carnegie Hall, in New York City, under the Honors Junior Band 2018, my acceptance within this talented group is a direct result of the dedication and musical achievements demonstrated.

This year, I was selected as a member of the Ontario Provincial Honor Band, a selection made by the Ontario Band Association.

I am a member of the TYWO – Toronto Youth Wind Orchestra 2018 – 2019.

There is a lot to say, but everything is about having a discipline of doing things and of time.

It’s not easy, but the power and the energy to move forward, and the joy comes through emotions, rewards and satisfactions.

I have to be prepared for the expectations of Live music performances. Every Live performance is unique in its own way, as well as my feelings, which are unique during and after the concert.

I have to control my emotions and to give to the audience a performance as expected.

The most important thing is to connect with the audience.

Each Live Performance, as a pianist, is always a new challenge. I have to give the audience an exceptional interpretation, that will not stop at the edge of the stage but reach the heart of everyone.

After my recital, people have to leave with joy in the soul and with the desire to return to my concerts.

My musical performances are also the way I thank my parents and express my gratitude for their support. I am referring to the education received and, of course, to everything that follows in the future, from academic, artistic and musical perspectives.

Music has no limits and musical study is a continuous process, that reflects on the quality of my interpretation and on the complexity of the repertoire.
