Daniel Ciobanu

“Using our perfect pitch, we can’t deny the fact that the word Conservatoire sounds terribly similar to the word conservative therefore, to put it more mildly, a machine of mass execution of originality, innovation and individual spices. Well, here is exactly where the RCS proves the contrary. A place that struck my fascination with its ferocious generosity and refreshing atmosphere, a place that you can hardly feel anything but compassionate gaze and fizzy brains while stimulating to the last corridor that you can witness either by listening or looking. Being used myself to provoke the insides of this classical world of borders in which my fingers circulate, I suddenly found myself in the aura of greatest support and confidence that every artist needs and requires! Refreshing – Creative – Stimulating is what the RCS means to me!”
