Two upcoming solo recitals:
On June 1, 2024, 12.05 pm, I play solo works by J.S. Bach and myself at the Niedermünsterkirche in Regensburg. The title of the recital is ´In search of meaning and peace`.
On August 2, 2024, 19.00 pm, I play the same works under the same title at the Dreieinigkeitskirche in Regensburg.
Après la Guerre will be recorded on CD in May 2024 by the Bohuslav Martinú Philharmonic Orchestra under the baton of Gevorg Sargsyan in Zlin, Czech Republic.
After my composition Après la guerre for orchestra has won a Call for Scores competition of the Progressive Musicians in New York, it was premiered on April 4, 2024, at the Laureate Gala at Carnegie Hall, New York. The performers were the New York Chamber Players under the baton of Maestro Giacomo Franci. It was very exciting to hear my work live at such a famous location!
In order to get a sound impression of the work, I refer to a recording with virtual instruments that has been published on youTube in combination with an image collage, s. Video
There is also an interview about the creation of the work, s. Video
On October, 23, 2023, my composition Strange Bird Singing in the Night for alto flute has been performed by the flutist Sofia Mihailovic at the International Festival of Contemporary Music UNICUM in Ljubljana, Slovenia. Great performance! Thank you very much, Sofia!
Two music films have been released on youTube, designed by the filmmaker Werner Damboeck (www.werda.net). In one film Beatrix Leinhäupl, violin and I play my composition Almost a Tribute for violin and guitar, and in the other Tomasz Skweres, violoncello and I perform my piece Talking, Joking, Dreaming.

The cooperation with the city of Regensburg and since this year also with the Sudetendeutschen Musikinstitut has proven itself.
