How important is the opportunity to perform again at the festival with the audience in person, and what exactly was missing in this context?
–
What was needed, however, was for people to perceive change in a world without panic and to accept conditions calmly and with understanding.
–
During the pause caused by the pandemic, have you had to rethink your work so far and draw any new conclusions about future concert activities?
–
I was not affected by the pandemic in this respect. It’s always relevant to me, I’ve always thought about everything, I don’t feel any special revelations in this regard. There is only a conclusion that we have to work in the new circumstances, but it does not change what I believe and what I love in any way.

What to expect from you and the group’s performance at the festival “Var! To be!”?
–
It is best not to wait, but to try to be present and accept, to listen to yourself and the world. We are part of the world and we want to talk to you right now. There is a popular English saying – “Expectations lead to disappointment”. The world is full of unexpected and unpredictable miracles. It also encourages me to pursue this profession. If I expected anything from it all the time, there would be no room for a miracle, there would only be an assessment that meets or does not meet my expectations.
–
What artists would you like to see at such a new city festival?
–
Unknown and talented discoveries alongside the choice of festival organizers, their absolutely subjective and wonderful personal taste.
–
What can be done at the summer music and maybe other artistic expressions festival and who will always be there?
–
I like when the organizers are creative and surprise the musicians and the audience with a new concept, so I wish you good luck! The public, performers and technicians alike need to be raised.
–
What are your creative plans for the near future?
–
Big – don’t get lost, keep going. You can do everything if you have a creative spirit and work ability. Then like-minded people will follow. There is no evidence that anything needs to change in this regard, it is already working. But provided you have to work hard, you can’t stop. If there is even minimal success and no further development, it is the end.
–
A wish to lovers of various music and, accordingly, to the stylistically eclectic festival “Var! To be!” visitors.
–
Get vaccinated! Not to be afraid of life, to accept it as it is, and to take care of those who cannot really take care of themselves. Music helps a lot if you allow it. Take what gives you, look for joy, not guilt in your own and others’ work, and you will find more good than it initially seemed. It helps a lot in everything.
