“Professors who most influenced me are Jorma Panula, Darinka Matic-Marovic, Angel Surev, Salvador Mas Conde, because of help and knowledge they shared and positive attitude to my career.
My philosophy of teaching is that in art of classical music we need to be guided till some point when we have to take our own road and create our authentic art.
My greatest achievements are my international career and awards, as well as invitations for closing ceremonies concerts and world premieres around the Europe and Latin America.
My favourite performers are Marta Argerich, Isaac Stern, Ricardo Muti and Leonard Bernstein.
