"It is a very good feeling and will be a very interesting experience to be part of this project, where I will get to know the other composers of the countries participating. It is very important that the project enables the opportunity to perform our newly composed pieces, so the audience will have the opportunity to listen to the works of all other composers in one or two concerts in different cities.
We will exchange our thoughts and messages through composed music and I also hope that we shall offer the audience beautiful
music, since the purpose of art is to make people feel better and closer to each other." K.A.
