He never chose the easiest way, in fact, there is no easy way when making music, as he affirms.<\/p>\n<h3>About growing up with music<\/h3>\n<p>Marcel has been playing piano since the age of 7, when his first piano was bought by his parents. Then, he decided to take music seriously and, at the age of 13, he went to the School of Music \u201cCiprian Porumbescu\u201d in Chi\u0219in\u0103u, Moldova. Afterwards, he studied at the Academy of Music \u201cGheorghe Dima\u201d from Cluj-Napoca, Romania, and at the University of Music and Dramatic Arts Mozarteum in Salzburg, Austria. Marcel sees it as a journey: \u201c<em>From one step to another you get deeper into studying music and infiltrate more into its philosophy. Music is such a mystical and subjective art. The more musicians I meet and more ideas and opinions I hear, the more questions I ask myself, for which, in the end, I hope to get an answer<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-446822 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.moldova.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/03\/marcel-pian4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"930\" height=\"620\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.moldova.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/03\/marcel-pian4.jpg 930w, https:\/\/www.moldova.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/03\/marcel-pian4-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.moldova.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/03\/marcel-pian4-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.moldova.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/03\/marcel-pian4-400x267.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 930px) 100vw, 930px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Marcel thinks that music has no borders.

In Vienna, if you walk on the streets, you see music stores almost at every corner. That is telling us something. In Germany or Austria, it is a normal thing for children to know how to play an instrument. A common practice for doctors, economists or lawyers is to meet at evening and play chamber music. At least, that was a normality in the 19<sup>th<\/sup> century, while in Moldova there were still no schools,\u201d<\/em> says Marcel.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-446823 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.moldova.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/03\/Marcel2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"960\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.moldova.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/03\/Marcel2.jpg 960w, https:\/\/www.moldova.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/03\/Marcel2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.moldova.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/03\/Marcel2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.moldova.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/03\/Marcel2-400x267.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In Moldova, as Marcel states, the situation is totally different.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cIt&#8217;s hard to be a musician in Moldova.

I think we have grown visibly from one edition to another.\u201d<\/em> Chamber music concerts, charity concerts, concerts organised on the street, on parking lots, in museums, in buildings of historical and cultural value for raising awareness about the importance of their renovation, symbiosis events with painters, artists, actors, photographers, are just some ideas they implemented or want to implement in the future.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-446830 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.moldova.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/03\/subterana.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"930\" height=\"620\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.moldova.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/03\/subterana.jpg 930w, https:\/\/www.moldova.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/03\/subterana-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.moldova.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/03\/subterana-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.moldova.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/03\/subterana-400x267.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 930px) 100vw, 930px\" \/><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI think the greatest success was this year&#8217;s edition of\u00a0 the festival, when we reached 10 major cities on both sides of the Prut. It was really an experiment and a resistance test. Unusual, for me, was the concert in Sibiu. In a former European Capital of Culture, the hall was almost empty, and we were able to focus so much, as if we had played for thousands of people.

From our concerts in 2012 to those organised in 2018, people started to understand and enjoy music. That is making us happy.\u201d<\/em> However, he can\u2019t look at the world through rose-coloured glasses. <strong>\u201cWe have made great efforts to convince people to donate for our cause. We spent hundreds of hours of conversation and explanation. I have made many friends, many have listened and understood me. Some of them helped us. Others have distanced themselves from us. Fighting ignorance and indifference is not so easy. There is a great distance from talks to actions. It&#8217;s painful. That&#8217;s why we decided to not try to persuade people anymore. We play music. Whoever has ears to hear, will listen to us,\u201d<\/strong> reflects Marcel.<\/p>\n<p>Their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/user?u=15485196\">Patreon<\/a> account displays today only 15 patrons that donate a total sum of $130 monthly \u2013 a tiny amount that is planned to be invested in a website for Moldo Crescendo. But there are still so many unrealized ideas\u2026<\/p>\n\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-446828 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.moldova.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/03\/Moldo-Crescendo71.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"930\" height=\"620\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.moldova.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/03\/Moldo-Crescendo71.jpg 930w, https:\/\/www.moldova.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/03\/Moldo-Crescendo71-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.moldova.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/03\/Moldo-Crescendo71-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.moldova.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/03\/Moldo-Crescendo71-400x267.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 930px) 100vw, 930px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Another challenge they have been facing from the very beginning is the lack of an organizational team. <em>\u201cWe have always succeeded in motivating some friends to get involved in the organisational process. Organizing a festival, however, is a full-time job, requiring high commitment, especially in Moldova, where one has to convince people, companies, organizations to donate money for classical music concerts.\u201d<\/em> They still need people in their organisational team and ask for help here as well: <em>\u201cIf you are willing to get involved in the organizational process of the Moldo Crescendo festivals, you are more than welcome.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-446829 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.moldova.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/03\/Moldo-Crescendo8.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"930\" height=\"621\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.moldova.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/03\/Moldo-Crescendo8.jpg 930w, https:\/\/www.moldova.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/03\/Moldo-Crescendo8-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.moldova.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/03\/Moldo-Crescendo8-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.moldova.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/03\/Moldo-Crescendo8-400x267.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 930px) 100vw, 930px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Moldo Crescendo is apolitical.
