It was my first journey to Russia, which exceeded all my expectations by far. In particular enjoyable and inspiring was the cooperation with fantastic human beings as well as musicians. With Beethoven’s Triple Concerto it became an unforgettable experience.
HOT NEWS: Elbphilharmonie
The “Elbphilharmonie Hamburg” has quickly become one of the most important concert halls worldwide. It is a pleasure for me to play in this fantastic hall together with the amazing K&K Philharmonic Orchestra and Matthias Kendlinger. On the program: P.I. Tchaikovsky’s piano concerto No. 1.
Save the date: September 22, 2019.
After the concert is before the concert
The Brazil-tour is over and soon the “show” must go on. The next stop again will be a personal premiere: Russia.
Soon I have even further great news to announce… stay tuned.
Pictures at an Exhibition
Together with 600 students, it was an incredibly exciting project to “walk” through the “Picutres at an Exhibition”. We went on a journey in the onomatopoetic world of Modest Mussorgsky and experienced the most different atmospheres, places and emotions. For me personally, the most important was, to notice, how the fantastic music even today captures everybody’s heart – no matter what age.

1st prize at “Karlrobert Kreiten” piano competition
Proudly I would like to announce, that I was awarded with the 1st prize at the “Karlrobert Kreiten” piano competition in Cologne/Germany. I am very honoured to carry on the name of the German pianist Karlrobert Kreiten, who lost his life in 1943 to the horrible crimes of the Nazi regime.

On the way to South America
In April this year, another exciting adventure is awaiting me: my first time to Brazil. The concert tour will lead me through the two world-renowned centres São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, where I will play with the Rio De Janeiro Symphony orchestra among others.
A peaceful festive season
After a long and intensive year it is time to reflect all achievements of 2018 and spend the most joyful time of the year with your beloved ones.
I wish all of you a happy festive season, merry Christmas and all the very best in 2019 with lots of joyful moments in music!
In Japan
Classical music and especially piano music is highly appreciated in Japan. One can see this just by looking at the numbers of listeners in the concert hall. This video (click here) was recorded during my performance at the Hamamatsu International Piano Competition.

In Austria’s so-called “Green Heart” it is always something special to give a concert. Additionally, the Castle of Stubenberg provides a wonderful atmosphere for a calm musical evening on Sunday, 19 August at 6p.m. Special guest is the Norwegian violinist Laurens Weinhold, as we will perform Schubert’s dreamlike Fantasy in C major among others.
