Aiko Heidi Dillon has had and continues to have many people who help her in her musical/cultural/artistic path of experiences, personal reflection and self expression.  There are so many people to mention; this list would be very long if they were all included.  Thank you to everyone that got Aiko Heidi started in many of the areas that have became a critical component of who she is today.  A super special thanks to:

In addition to his regular performance schedule he has served as an ambassador of Hungarian's rich musical culture; teaching violin Master classes around the globe.

Robert Davidovici www.robertdavidovici.com

When Aiko Heidi met Maestro Davidovici she knew what she wanted but was sailing without a rudder. Maestro Davidovici was her primary violin teacher but even after being separated from her by some distance he continued to guide her education; seeing Aiko Heidi in Florida, Wyoming, New York and Budapest Hungary. Even today he continues to play a vital role in her music education. He is her mentor, friend and much more. He is an inspiration to Aiko Heidi in art, music, culture and life. From the first time they met in Florida, to seeing each other around the world, when they are together it is an amazing example of the perfect student/teacher relationship. Maesto Davidovici is an award winning Transylvania born international Violin Virtuoso (former student of Ivan Galamian) who needs no introduction.
