We are talking about a child who was not content to fly only on the staff but also in real life. At 17, he successfully combines the hours spent in front of the piano with those spent on the pilot seat.
Matthew Mihăescu made his debut on the stage of the Romanian Athenaeum at 10 years old in a three hours concert when some of the major works that he had composed were played. He currently has over 100 works for piano and orchestra.
His passion for his music takes most of the time, but slowly, slowly he allowed in his life time for another adolescent passions too.
Now Matthew has replaced the toys by real airplanes. Every week he goes to the Romanian Airclub where he has been attending flying lessons for the past five months.
He was admitted third on the lists of sixteen freshmen admitted to the flight classes with ultra light engine airplane.
Matei does not listen to music in his head set but he enjoys the feeling. It is just like he always jokes about himself, with his head in the clouds….. literally.
