Yeah, yeah, that's very true. And I feel that I focus more on my heart because my mindset has changed. I focus more on like the spiritual growth actually over the last couple of years. And I realized that a lot of things, if we believe that it will happen, it will actually happen. And I guess starting Virtuoso Fiesta in 2023 was like a dream came true for me and Ruda.

And we realized that dreams can come true and there are a lot of supporting community that can help us realize our dreams. And that's why I think I should follow my heart.

Definitely. So we produce concerts and events that involve music, including corporate events and also wellness events or any types of organization if they want to have live music performance in their events. Our company would help facilitate that. We have a network of very world-class musicians, some from the Yale School of Music, but also from all the other prestigious music schools.

So we curate programs for different events, and we also produce our own concerts and masterclasses. We bring world-class people to Hong Kong to share their knowledge on music. Say, for example, last year we brought in a soprano from the Metropolitan Opera. And she was so generous in sharing her knowledge in bel canto singing. She spent 18 years singing leading roles with The Met.

So there was such a wealth of knowledge that she shared with audience in Hong Kong. And we just brought in last month a professor from Yale. Michael Friedman, who is my favorite professor at Yale who taught music analysis and theory. And he came to Hong Kong to talk about romantic music, how people could listen to romantic music if they are new to it.

And it was really meaningful because I felt like he really helped the audience to connect to the music at a deeper level. So coming up, we'll continue to have concerts like that and also masterclasses. For people who would like to support, we have our website, virtuosofiester.org. We have online donation. Our business model basically relies a lot on patronage, sponsorship, and ticketing.
