During this interview she will share her thoughts about music and neuroscience in the light of her own life experience and her plans:
- to launch a music festival, that drops the currently perceived barrier with classical music and includes questions and other interactive exchanges with children and families.
- to create a foundation for empowering women, a NGO body, supporting sexually abused girls' education and therapies, seeding hope and possibilities in them so that they don't repeat the traumas and they can build trust slowly.
