My material life is simple.

Whenever I listen to a children's orchestra, I learn. They feel everything, they enjoy everything, they have amazing energy.

Music is a fundamental human right

The challenge is not so much to change the sound. The challenge is to connect and to create something special.

It's not that people don't like classical music. It's that they don't have the chance to understand and to experience it.

With an orchestra you are building citizens, better citizens for the community.

You have to believe that things will happen, you have to work and love what you're doing.

I am who I am; no more, no less.

The world is a great mirror. It reflects back to you what you are.

I don't like piano solos.

It is no more possible to live in the future than it is to live in the past. If life is not now, it is never.
