Concert on the island of Lopud

Concert on the island of Lopud

Last weekend I had the honour to play a concert in the great Lafodia Hotel on the beautiful island of Lopud. It was a very special and inspiring atmosphere on the island which I really enjoyed.

Dramatic but happy

Dramatic but happy

I would love to share the feedback with you that I received for my music.

What an AMAZING new album. I absolutely love it! I’ve been listening to it in my car and it is so very beautiful. I can hear the beauty of your soul in the music – so pure is the effect that the music seems to radiate light! I find it very hard to sit still listening to the tracks, they make me want to get up and dance.
Dr. Louisa Allen, New Zealand

I used to listen to it over and over again holding my daughter on my chest. I did this every day for the first few weeks of her life constantly crying of happiness. It felt to me like the perfect description of birth in piano notes. Just like birth, it is dramatic but happy at the same time. Since then it is a song that has always soothed her. She’s nearly two and I still use it to help her go to sleep when she struggles to. It’s magical!
Cristina Cruz, UK

Thank you Cristina & Louisa!
