Address at the Doctor Honoris Causa ceremony,

National University of Music, Bucharest, 24 June 2015

Your Magnificence, Colleagues of the University of Music in Bucharest! Ladies and gentlemen!

 Music is a form of being and communication about being. One could say: communion.

 We do deliver messages and share love of life, like a communion.

 In this way, and especially via music, we are able to overcome the poor half-human existence of consuming and dying.

 Dear Colleagues! Your kind attention and initiative of the Doctor Honoris Causa award reminds me of belonging to that world’s best community, which is music.

 With great gratitude – God bless Romania!
