Aleksandra Stanić
Orchestra member since 1 February 2005
I take pride in my choice of occupation. Actually, it is more than just an occupation to me. I am proud of my immense orchestral and chamber music experience, of music creation, playing, dancing and singing with The Secondhanders.
‘Having no other explanation, I spoke about it
with no reserve. At first, I said, they found a perfectly
hungry dog and a remarkably agitated
swallow, then they added some quicklime and cotton,
sewed the whole thing in a piece of leather, wrote a birth certificate,
and declared that it was me.’
