Favorite moment on the Nechita stage:

2022 Instrumental Music Showcase, where I played the piano in a student quartet. The song we performed was "Experience" by Ludovico Einaudi. It was surreal to be making music with my fiends on the Nechita Stage and an experience I'll never forget.

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Hebrews 12:1
