Art connects, is the Universal language, is freedom.
We feel free through art because we can be ourselves. Be, even if for few minutes, creators. Free ourselves from everything we are not and we don’t really want, worries, doubts, desires, duties and get closer to our essence.
Art connects, is the Universal language, is freedom.
My name is Dorina Gavrilita, I am 32 years old and I am a violinist. My first memories are of classic tunes playing from my father’s turntable. Vinyl records and orchestras took me to the best imaginary trips. I got to know the world through music and I can’t imagine it in other way.
I started studying violin at 5 years old with my father and at the national music school in the city where I was born – Chisinau. I don’t know if I wanted to be a violinist, but I know that the violin and music were always my refuge. I have always had doubts and questions. ̈ For what do I study, is this my path and what can I contribute to this world through the violin? ̈
In the search for these answers I have lived unique experiences that have helped me to grow and to discover the world. Realize that the answer is the way, it is discipline, daily effort, respect, the choices I make and my responsibilities. Being honest with myself and with others, playing my role, letting go and trusting. More difficult than I could imagine, but I keep learning and I saw that in music were the thoughts and experiences of other people who feel something similar. When I couldn’t speak, the music did it for me. So, I realized that I need music, that there is a lot to say and share and now I am more sure than ever that it is a path not a profession, it is your attitude. It is your intention and your actions.
We are many who find ourselves in the same song…places, stories, times, lives, emotions … Being there makes me happy.
Feeling, living and sharing is an art. Errors are part of this art, modulations, complicated chords, soft or intense melodies, all this to build harmony. What if we stop thinking, let music do its purpose and let our soul to dance?
