After Hamburg, Paris, Hsinchu and Taipei there will be a concert on November 4 in the beautiful Rokoko Prinzenhaus in Plön! Including the European Premieres of Illuminated Inside and Consolation.

Music and Pictures

I wish to thank the Ensemble Elb'an Flutes and Philine Zadow for the very special event on Saturday: they played my first two African Suites, Djaboué and pina ya phala, and the Gallery showed the pictures Philine Zadow painted ABOUT my music. Amazing pictures! You can see some of them on my FB page, and soon here. I am really thrilled by this art-to-art-translation! The concert will be repeated in the Kulturschloss Wandsbek, 28.10. at 8pm!

Taipei

What a travel! For ten days I was invited to the world capital of the Recorder, Taiwan. I gave a master class to more than 150 recorder students in Hsinchu, and there were two concerts dedicated to my pieces, on the second of July in Hsinchu and on the third of July in Taipei. Just look at the photos on my Facebook page. It was overwhelming! Soon there will be many videos on Youtube. Now I am looking forward to the Premiere of my 20th African Suite IXESHA by the famous Boreas Quartet at the ERTA-Congress in Michaelstein on the 23th of September. Hope to see you there!
