THE PIECE

According to the composer, the idea for Asventuras came to him while preparing for a concert.

He experimented with the different timbres and possibilities of the instrument and so the heart of the final composition was born. This was gradually supplemented by a rhythmic framework, and in the end a three-part structure was created.

About the name, the composer says: "From the day I composed the first note, I had the name "Asventuras" in my head. Since the time I was experimenting with all kinds of sounds and effects on the snare drum was adventurous, the association with the word "adventure" must have had an influence on the name of my piece."

Her concerts and guest appearances at festivals have taken her to stages all over the world - from Paris or Monte-Carlo to Dublin, Colombia or Latvia. She has been described as a "star of classical percussion" by Radio Classique, for example, and „The Times" is delighted with the "impressive flair" of her music.
