“A Child’s Dream” is a reflection of my personal journey in the music world, from some of the very first pieces I played as a child to significant milestones (like my concerto debut at age 9) sharing my exciting story with our listeners. This programme showcases the music that has been my lifelong companion, travelling with me across the globe but also some hidden gems by neglected composers throughout history, voices which deserve to be heard." – Alexandra Dariescu
