Maria Kmetkova describes herself : I graduated at University of musical arts (VŠMU) in Bratislava. During my studies at conservatory in Bratislava I won the Competition of Slovak conservatories in harp playing in 2006. At that time I realized that there is no other way for me but music, so I have bought my own harp and started to work it at full blast.

As a soloist, I am particularly devoted to classic music, but I always try to find new ways of self expression through broader repertoire of different genres and time periods. Along with compositions from the time of romanticism or impressionism I keep enriching my repertoire with movie and musical standards, modern evergreen remakes of current pop hits….

One of the brightest Slovak harp performers, Maria Kmetkova, will join the movement with her performance in the hospitals.
