BIOGRAPHY
The Story
I have always enjoyed singing. The first
time I demonstrated my voice to the world was in August
1978. Since then it has shaped me and vice versa. At the
age of six I started to play the piano. If I had had the
choice I would have preferred to play the recorder like
all my friends. However, my parents
insisted on the piano.
Today, I am very grateful.
Today
stands for a time of the last 14 years.
A time I have started to develop my own musical voice and expression.
It did
not satisfy me anymore to play classical music only. I wanted to
improvise and be creative.
Today
stands for a time of observing, listening and writing. It is incredibly fascinating
how many stories life tells us. Having the chance to hear them is even
more fascinating. Some of the stories I write down and whilst writing I
sometimes
hear a melody. This melody leads me to composing a musical story.
Today
is only a short moment, a phase before tomorrow begins.
Today I give performances for everyone who would like to listen
to my musical
stories.
I play for people who do not have the opportunity to
listen to the stories
of life.
I play for all those who might have forgotten to listen
to the stories
their own life tells them.
I play for people who would like to enjoy a pleasant evening and get
carried
away by music.
I play for you.
Today.
