Rising star has her phone stolen while playing in a church
mainIt has been quite a week for Alexandra Dariescu, the Romanian-born UK pianist.
At one end, she won a Woman of the Future award. At the other, she had her phone nicked while playing a recital. Here’s what she tells us:
Absolutely outraged- my phone was stolen from my dressing room while on stage, during the second half of my recital in the United Reformed Church in Guildford this afternoon. I suppose you win some, you lose some… A heck of a week!
Sorry but this seems like first world problem.
Theft, especially occurring from a place you expect to be safe, is hardly exclusive to the first world.
My heart goes out to the “Woman of the Future award” recipient and “rising star “.
I hope she will recover soon from this terrible loss.
Michael, that feels unnecessarily sarcastic.
Woman has ‘phone stolen. Comments on fact. Accepts it stoically.
I see no histrionics that might be worthy of your sarcasm nor Jeffrey’s remark.
Very much agree, Anon.
I have noticed that some female members of my area orchestra have their handbags under their chairs during concerts. One might think security would be a ‘given.’ Silly me.
