The Opener is my very first online concert — and it’s not just a concert. I prepared 6 songs, each connected to a specific emotion and a personal challenge. During the concert I will ask you questions, and I want to hear your answers. It’s a concert, but it’s also a conversation between us.

It’s on Saturday, May 30th, 2026 at 8PM CEST (Central European Summer Time, UTC+2). The concert itself is about 40 minutes, followed by a live Q&A where I answer your questions in real time. Plan for about an hour in total.

8PM CEST is: 7PM in London (BST), 2PM in New York (EDT), 11AM in Los Angeles (PDT). Not sure about yours? Check worldtimebuddy.com

Yes. To watch live and access the replay afterwards, you need a paid Patreon membership. All three tiers get access to The Opener.

The concert was recorded in Vienna on March 23rd, 2026. The musical performance was recorded in one take, without any editing — completely live and raw. The speaking parts were lightly edited for clarity. It will be streamed as a prerecorded video, while I’m present live at the same time to welcome you and answer your questions at the end.

To avoid technical surprises. A live stream can have glitches, drop in quality, or crash at the worst moment. Recording in advance means you get the best version of the concert, while I’m still there live for the Q&A.

It was recorded to avoid live streaming glitches or bad suprises. It is easier to restart the recording in case of a major technical issue.

The stream link will be shared exclusively inside Patreon, in a post, shortly before the concert starts on May 30th. You’ll get a notification from Patreon so you don’t miss it. It will be live streamed on YouTube as a private stream.

Absolutely. If you can’t be there on May 30th, the full recording will be available on Patreon afterwards for all paid members. You can watch it whenever you want.

That’s a surprise. 🎹 What I can tell you is that each song comes with an emotional challenge — and a question for you.

After the concert, I’ll be there live reading your questions and comments in real time and answering them. Just type in the chat during the stream — I’ll get to as many as I can.

Yes.

Good sound makes a big difference — headphones or a speaker you like. And a stable internet connection so you don’t miss anything. But honestly, just settle in, make yourself comfortable, and enjoy.

Don’t stress. In the worst case, you can watch the full recording on Patreon at any time after the stream ends. You won’t miss anything permanently.

For now, The Opener is exclusive to Patreon members. Whether it will ever be made public in the future — maybe, but that hasn’t been decided yet. Joining now means you get it first, and you get to be part of the live moment.

Patreon is a platform where you can directly support artists and creators you love, and in return get exclusive content and access that you can’t find anywhere else. Think of it as your private space with me — beyond social media.

Cili’s Universe is the space I’ve been building for a long time — a place where music, emotions, creativity and connection all come together. It’s more than just piano. It’s about sharing who I am, what I feel, and what I believe in — and creating a community where you feel inspired to believe in yourself too.

On social media, everything is fast, short and made for the algorithm. Here, we have space. Space to go deeper, to share more, to really connect. This is where I can be fully myself — and where you can be part of something real, not just a viewer scrolling past.
