Dutch organist Jean-Pierre Stivers in an interview “Izvestia” She admitted that she was ready to move to Moscow. He also called Russia his “second homeland”.
“However, the situation is complicated by the fact that none of us have Russian citizenship, because Hiroko (Stivers’ wife, approximately “Gazeta.ru”) remains a Japanese citizen, so it is difficult to plan a move. It would be easier if there was at least one of us, ”said the musician.
It’s not easy for him and his wife, Hiroko Inoue, who is also an organist, to combine concert activity and family life, according to Stivers: “We live separately: I’m mostly in the Netherlands, Hiroko is in Russia, and our son is in Japan.” He hopes that they will finally be able to live together “in Moscow or any other city”.
