The Villecroze Music Academy has definitely changed my professional life. For the first time in 2001, I was invited there with the wind quintet when we were all students of the Academy of Music in Poland. The chamber music workshop with Christian Lardé was great! We fell in love with this magnificent place and its unforgettable atmosphere! The concerts in the chapel, the lessons with Monsieur Lardé, getting to know the other participants, our free time in the garden ... everything is in my heart forever! Some girls I met in there recommended me to the Strasbourg Conservatory, where I completed the Specialization course in the flute class of Claire Gentilhomme and Mario Caroli - thanks to the financial support of the Académie de Villecroze,
The second time I was invited to Villecroze was in 2007. I participated in the Composition workshop with Betsy Jolas. And this second stay has significantly influenced my life as a flautist. I met a Finnish cellist there who invited me to the contemporary music festival "Ostrava Days", organized near Ostrava ... and since 2011 I have been a member of the festival as a whole ...
This is how the Villecroze Music Academy is the important part of my flutist life!
... the scent of the wind, flowers and trees, the taste of gourmet and refined meals, the beauty of the architecture of this place, the masterpieces of artists from the region ... all, I will never forget it! Thank you.
