In your opinion, what makes the Komendunesi Festival special?
This festival is so special for me, because of the nice, friendly inhabitants, their great love for music and their hospitality. Komendunesi festival is not only playing music, but also meeting nice people, people I already know and looking forward to see! And not to forget the wonderful meals! And the wine! And the coffee in the morning and cornetti… I love the people there so much! And of course, playing music there without stress.
Three things you are looking forward to most about the 2021 edition of the Komendunesi Festival?

What is music to you?
It’s a part of my life. I can’t think of my life without music because it helps me so much, maybe even to survive.
A quick music menu of your own:
I must tell you that there is so much music in the world and I really can’t decide the pieces. Maybe you know this sentence from Rachmaninow:
“Music is enough for a whole lifetime — but a lifetime is not enough for music”
However, if you want answers, maybe this wonderful music:
a piece of music to help you get through the day or morning
a piece of music to help you relax
a piece of music that helps you to release anger or tension:
