Your first project is international music foundation, how did you arrive to the idea to organise children music competition?

The aim and objectives of the Foundation are based on the principle of helping unprivileged but highly gifted children who can professionally learn how to play an instrument and continue develop their skills through winning a competition called “Golden Note”. The Golden Note Competition became a Huge Classic Show aired on Austrian Television.

My daughter who is also one talented child and plays Piano inspired and motivated me to create the Foundation that will provide Free Classes, Coaching and Training. It is my best interest and desire to help and change the lives of those unique children forever.

You have two tv shows thats been on air for couple of years now (The Golden Note and Stars and Talent Shows) can you tell us more about them?

On the first year of Golden Note Competition I started Piano and Violin then we had Corona virus so we made a considerable significant changes airing the Musicians in the past of Golden Note. The Special Edition of Corona Golden Note had been broadcasted to ORF III Classical Music Channel which was received with great television ratings! From that moment the idea of “Stars and Talent Show was born. Joining forces with Internationally known Classical Music Stars such as Elena Garanca, Erwin Schrott and Roland Villain and a lot more we were able to create very popular and trendy Show!

Golden Note is a competition dedicated to identifying the newest and greatest, unique and gifted children who plays an instrument such as piano, violin, cello, trumpet, clarinet and more. The 9 Finalists will compete in the Finale well chosen from a Jury which consists of University Professors, musical schools or equivalent. This year we added children dancing classical and contemporary art.

The goal of Stars and Talent is to bring young and talented children into musical exchange with internationally famous stars and to create a lasting effect and unique experience. I have launched and, currently working alongside with my Golden Note Musicians for a Concert by bringing Talented Ukranian Young Refugees giving them a chance of a lifetime and also by offering them exceptional learning resources and opportunities.

You are venturing into the world of acting, tell us more about the roles you played in the movie?

Vienna Blood was shown in the New Year where I had a small acting role and, no doubt, this left a great impact in my life. I realise my joy in acting but will see what future holds for me in the World of Acting.

What inspire you to stay always so active and motivated?

I feel super motivated by making others Happy… To see the smile on their face of the things I’ve done. This is the Greatest Joy and an Inspiration to do more.

What the new year has in store for you?

I have a lot of projects ahead, such performances and concerts to develop further my foundation. AND… I have a lot more plans in a movie industry this year. I will play in a Czech Movie apart of other projects of mine.
