Önszeretet zenével | Orsolya Ferenczy | TEDxUdvarhely

~ Ferenczy Orsolya nem egy könnyű csomagot cipel magával. Ahogyan ő fogalmazott: a gyermekkora nem volt egy sétagalopp. Bántalmazó környezetben nőtt fel, és mivel fizikailag nem tudott ebből elmenekülni, más utat keresett magának. Énekelt - a parkban, az utcán, bevásárlás közben, az iskolában.
Azóta is ezt teszi: a zene és az éneklés tölti ki az életét. Azt vallja, hogy a zene által mások, de önmagunk fele is nagyobb empátiával fordulhatunk, és szabadabban szerethetünk.
~ Ferenczy Orsolya is carrying a heavy package. As she says: her childhood was no picnic. She grew up in an abusive environment, and since she couldn't escape physically, she looked for other solutions. She sang: in the park, on the street, during shopping, and at school.
She's been doing this ever since: her life is determined by music and singing. She believes, that through music we can have much more empathy towards ourselves and others, and we can love more freely. She learned to love music at a very young age, the world of symphonic works, piano concertos and operas was on the agenda at home.
She was born in Odorheiu Secuiesc and from here she set out, like in the fairy tales. She was aware that a career as an opera singer was complex and very difficult to succeed, especially coming from a small town with limited opportunities. It’s good to have social capital and good financial backing - she didn’t have any of these, nor a proper family background.
But she had something important: her faith. And her talent, which she received as a gift from "above". She felt that this gift was given to her to share with others. To heal with music, with her voice. To offer happiness, smiles, tears, and wonders to people. To bring joy, smiles, tears and wonder to people's life. "If I can share one moment of beauty out of a three-hour opera performance, then I am worth being there."
