“It’s not too late to share your achievements,
As long as it’s concrete and articulated!”
– Vell Baria, 2016 INAP Award Recipient for Performing Arts
Thank-you to Katarina Simic for sharing her experiences with us – Katarina is featured in the Spring Issue of Naturally Autistic Magazine, 2017 in Vell Baria’s article “The Harmonic Suite”. “Volunteering at ANCA as a performer was a special experience. The festival is highly organized and very professional, providing many individuals with the opportunity to display their talents internationally. The atmosphere created by all attendees and organizers was very warm; I was touched by the immense appreciation expressed by the festival coordinator and the singer I collaborated with for taking part in the festival. ANCA is already very mature after its 7th anniversary and I am certain it will continue to grow for many more years in supporting an important cause. Collaborating with Vell was a joy, despite the difficulty in finding times to rehearse in a short time span with our contrasting schedules. We both learned from each other through the process and managed to pull through in the end. I am very grateful to have been able to have met Vell, to have made music with her and to have supported her at the festival. She is a very talented singer who consistently amazes her listeners.” – Katarina Simic, Pianist, Student at University
