Being able to see things from a different angle with an open mind: Sibila Konstantinova

Episode Summary

A conversation with a Bulgarian pianist Sibila Konstantinova about life and music.

Episode Notes

In this conversation you will hear an inspiring musician Sibila Konstantinova who also happens to be my piano teacher at the University of Music and Arts in Vienna, where as of 2013, she became an assistant of prof. Avedis Kouyoumdjian and since 2019 also a lecturer of piano chamber music. In this conversation we talked about how competitive environment in London has shaped Sibila as a musician, creative partnership between Sibila and her students, what every musician needs to have in order to keep going, and finally what Sibila defines as balance in life, and why family is so important. Enjoy and don't be scared away by the episode length, I put a lot of music this time.
