Musician · Choir conductor · Sound explorer
Play. Lead. Develop. Explore.
Music as sound and structure, experiment and living practice.
Perform. Shape. Explore.
My work connects stage, rehearsal, historical instruments, choir direction and digital sound ideas. These areas are not separate for me. They influence each other and repeatedly lead to new musical forms.
Between modern oboe, cor anglais and historical double reed instruments, I seek the right language for each music.
- modern oboe
- cor anglais
- historical double reed instruments

- Composition
- orchestral and ensemble work
Choir direction means more to me than beat and precision. I am interested in expression, dramaturgy and shared risk.

- La Compagna
- concert dramaturgy
- staged performance forms
Digital tools, tuning systems and musical structures.

My work moves between rehearsal and stage, instrument and voice, history and technology. What connects it is the search for living music.
