This video won the first price in the Sören Sieg Music Video Competition 2021! Hiroki Niwano explains: "This song is one of my favorites. When I listened to this song on youtube about 1or 2 years ago, I got the score soon. But I didn't have a opportunity to play it. One of another reason is that there is no pianist near around me. But fortunately I found this competition and I can have the...

Here you see the Tokyo Recorder Orchestra playing the premiere of the first movement of REIWA with the title THE EMPEROR IS COMING in Tokyo on September 29, 2019. REIWA is the name of the new Japanese era, that started in Japan with the coronation of the new Tennō Naruhito on May 1, 2019.

Here you can see my friend António Carrilho and me at the premiere of Cádiz's second movement THE WIND OF THE SEA on February 19 at the Sydney Conservatory. A very wonderful evening - and our last concert before the corona lockdown. Enjoy the music - I hope you can hear the waves!
Here you can see the Tokyo Recorder Ensemble with the premiere of my 16 variations on a Russian birthday song at the Tokyo Recorder Festival on August 24, 2019. Well, to be precise, it is an abbreviated version of the variations, since the ensemble only had a time window of ten minutes . A great festival, a great atmosphere - and a wonderful premiere. Many thanks to Takashi Yasui, Kenji Kaneko,...
Here you can see the fabulous Boreas Quartet Bremen with CONSOLATION, the third movement of my African Suite No. 20, IXESHA (time). I had the image of a mother who calms and cradles her child who has been injured. The calming melody comes from the song Oh Muzungu, which I wrote for my a cappella group LaLeLu. Perhaps it is this vocal origin that has made this one of my most popular pieces, and at...
This is the fourth, and apparently most popular, of the five movements of my Spanish impressionist suite CÁDIZ. You can see my wonderful musician friends Clea Galhano (from Brazil) and Rene Izquierdo (from Cuba) at the premiere in St. Paul on June 9, 2019. Have fun!
Here you can see the three exceptional musicians Gritli Kohler-Nyvall, Thomas Goetschel and Carsten Lorenz at the premiere of the first movement of the SUITE SICILIANO on March 30th. in Villingen, which I wrote for her in the same winter. It was my first composition for this line-up, and certainly not the last one! The three instruments simply fit together wonderfully. The crazy idea of writing a...
Here you can see Iris Höfling (bass flute), Anna Rheingans (piccolo) and Hsin Lee (marimba) with SULA INYEMBEZI (wipe your tears), the second movement of my African Suite No. 8 INJABULO. Recorded in Bremerhaven in February 2017. A very wonderful performance, I think. The piece is also available in a version for two flutes and piano. Have fun!
