,Music is medicine for a broken heart - that's what the English poet Leigh Hunt said. , and for me music is a source of relaxation - it is a language that we can use not only to reach people's ears, but also their hearts and souls. It brings people together, gives peace, inspires creativity, frees you from everyday life and helps you see new meanings in simple things. Every time I get a chance to perform somewhere, I am very happy. The whole ritual of concerts fascinates me, from long and tiring lessons with teachers, the excitement that appears a few minutes before the performance to the loud applause that you get from your loved ones," the young cellist shares her feelings.
