“Muziek is magie. Het raakt mij diep. Het tilt mij boven de aarde. Als ik naar muziek luister doe ik mijn ogen even dicht en vlieg in gedachten naar andere landen. Soms weet ik niet meer waar ik ben, als ik mijn ogen weer open doe. Zó diep raakt muziek mijn emoties en gevoelens.
Toen ik de piccolo fluit voor het eerst zag dacht ik: "Wat een juweel. Dat wil ik leren spelen". Nu 30 jaar later blijft dwarsfluit steeds een magisch instrument voor mij. Ik neem tijdens optredens het publiek mee op reis. Met de dwarsfluit kan ik mijn verhaal zonder woorden vertellen. Muziek is magie.”
