German, born 1972.

Educated at:
Hochschule für Musik in Dresden with Prof. J. Brinkmann and Prof. R. Ulbricht (member of the Staatskapelle Dresden).

Why did you choose to become a musician?
"First and foremost out of love and interest in music, fascination with the profession itself (travel, concerts, a bit of weirdness (?)), and then making money from something "beautiful"."

What is your greatest experience as a musician?
"Various good conductors, e.g. Romeo and Juliet by Prokofiev with W. Jurowski, major operas (Bohème, Aida)."

A little about yourself outside the concert hall:
“I am married and have 2 children. I like to play chamber music, help organize ProMusica and Augustenborg Castle Concerts, love nature, sports, yoga.”
