When I was three and a half years old, I decided to be a musician. My parents used to take me for walks towards the Warsaw Citadel, but often we didn’t even get there. Drawn in by the sounds coming from the practice room at the nearby music school, I spent the entire time listening, with my nose stuck to the glass. When I was taking my entrance exams to that school (which would later become my second home), I heard someone practising the flute. That’s when I knew: this was the sound for me.
