Project 03/2021 Sponsorship for a highly skilled Master Student of the Music- and Theatre-University Leipzig-Germany

M. Sefa was born in Cosovo in the war turmoil with her 3 siblings. When she was a child she began playing piano to overcome the experiences of a wartime child. She learned piano on the music conservatory in Pristina continued her studies in Switzerland and did win prizes on several international music competitions in Pristina/Cosovo, Cita di Barletta/Italy, Lucerne/Switzerland. M. Sefa is a passionate chamber music piano player, is working with the Cellist Hugo Paiva and founded in 2018 the chamber music Duo “Duo Litanei”. She lives in Leipzig to finish Master Program degree at University for music and theatre sciences Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy.

M. Sefa contacted our Foundation with an appeal for help due to our desperate situation in the COVID 19 time. She mentioned that the gap to afford daily life including study courses and her savings are more than alarming. Her parents and her 3 siblings live in Cosovo with a very small income.

We were touched by her biography, her musical path and her financially desperate situation and concluded to sponsor her college tuitions.
