Violin with Florina C.

"Music is more than notes, techniques or intellectual games. Music has to express itself without filters of explanation or being classified with prejudice. " Florina Georgia Conn I have discovered violin when I was seven. At nine, I enrolled as a student at "Dinu Lipatti" Music High School in Bucharest, Romania, after which I started my journey with the piano, helping me to discover new horizons about the wonderful world of music. Subsequent graduating high school, I attended the National University of Music, Bucharest, Romania, achieving a bachelor degree in violin performance and a master degree in Chamber Music - Violin. I have performed as a first violinist with various orchestral ensembles, having the pleasure to play as a soloist and being part of various chamber music ensembles, achieving a plethora of musical experiences within my country and abroad ... while being employed with Sibiu State Philharmonic. Especially pleasant and eye opening were performances I have put out with international artists, classical, folk, rock and Irish musical bands. All these allowed me to express my free spirit through what I love the most – Music. At the end of 2014 I got married and moved to Milford, Michigan. Since 2015 I play with some of the most prestigious orchestras in the State: Lansing, Flint, Saginaw, Oakland, Rochester and others. Being able to make the notes come to life is a gift I have received from fellow artists and I have the responsibility to gift it as well .
