Biography
My music has been internatinally awarded but every single performance of my music is my personal award!
I'm always thrilled when people contact me and tell me about their performance of my music. This is a beautiful way to conncet with performers and audience.
However, prior to all this hours of piano practise, learning how to write music as well as mastering life experience have garnished my path.
I started playing piano at the age of 5. Today, many years since, I still play and practise almost every day however with all my education, University degrees, international performance experience, children and family and many more mastered adventures and experiences in my luggage it brought me to composition.
These days my music is performed in various countries as solo, ensemble and orchestral settings.
I'm very fortunate being able to write for unusual settings such as Hackbrett and orchestra (cymbal or dulcimer) or classic guitar ensemble aw well as standards.
I also run the Swiss Female Composers Festival - encouraging other women composers to publish and perform their music.
I perform my music and arrangements in live concerts as in solo or with jazz drums or other instruments.
About the music
Melody, rhythm and space - this is essence of my music. It is often associated to film music. However it is more like modern romantic and melodic music with a fresh and catching touch.
