For fun, I went to the other presentations, trying out the different instruments, until I saw that long \u201cthing there\u201d &#8211; a bassoon. When I coaxed the first notes from the instrument, it was like &#8220;love at first sight\u201d. That warm tone and pitch made something resonate deep inside me. And it still does to this day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:18px\">I studied at the <em>Vorarlberg State Conservatory<\/em> and at the <em>University of Music and Performing Arts<\/em> in Vienna. After my academy time with the <em>Munich Philharmonic<\/em>, 12 years followed as principal bassoonist with the Bern Symphony Orchestra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:18px\">Since 2021 I\u2019ve been professor of the bassoon class at the <em>Stella Vorarlberg Private University of Music, <\/em>as it\u2019s very important to me to pass on my knowledge and enthusiasm to students and to accompany them on this vitally important path.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:18px\">I also like playing concerts with fantastic musicians, be it in an ensemble, as a soloist, in a chamber orchestra or in a symphony orchestra. I am very happy to share this energy that I experience on stage and the impulses that I can take home with me from my projects with my class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:18px\">In 2019 I fulfilled a long-desired wish and started to discover the historical bassoon for myself and to study it in Milan. Playing historical instruments opened up a new, more comprehensive view of the bassoon and music in general for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:18px\">Through playing in period instrument ensembles, it is essential for me to play as authentically as possible with the corresponding instrument for the particular era. As a result, my attention to contemporary music has increased: I am in regular contact with composers and have commissioned works as well as having had works dedicated to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:18px\">I used the imposed Corona-shutdowns to combine the inspiration and experiences I had gathered over the past few years to create the <em>Klang &amp; Raum<\/em> concert series. Together with three fabulous colleagues, we organize concerts for period instrument ensembles in the <em>Bregenzerwald<\/em> at untypical locations: workshop, factory, inn, barn, or alpine pasture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:18px\">We go to places people have been familiar with for centuries and create a setting that brings listeners of all ages and professions together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:18px\">Meanwhile, I have the privilege of learning from the best teachers you can imagine. With the help of our wonderful children Katharina and Leopold, six and three years old, I learn every day and see the world with different eyes (and a lot of heart), sometimes reaching my limits, overcoming them and growing beyond myself. And when I find the time between my duties as a musician, teacher, event organizer and mother, I love to read books, visit museums, go alpine skiing, cross-country skiing and swimming in summer (whether by the sea, in the Aare, at Lake Constance or in the Bregenzerach). Ah yes, and I love to travel, too. Another reason why I love being a musician.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I can still remember clearly the day when I played &#8211; then as an 11-year-old clarinetist &#8211; in a music school instrument presentation.
