Young Spanish student Hugo Fejgielman Garcia sought inspiration for his One Minute Symphony from a goldsmith in the center of The Hague.

At Odinski Jewels, he met goldsmith Sonja Hunefeld. Hugo was fascinated by the process of jewelry making and got the chance to watch with Sonja. Together they cast a silver ring, with Hugo allowed to assist. In both composing and forging jewelry, technique and preparation are important, but it is the beauty of the end result that defines the magic. With this thought in mind, Hugo allows himself to be guided in his composition process.
