For those of you who wants to listen to our performance of the Olga Neuwirth concerto in Paris last week, here is the link to the radio broadcast.  Still available for some weeks 🙂!
What a memorable experience to play in the Boulez hall at Cité de la Musique yesterday. The same hall I have witnessed so many great performances by Boulez, Ligeti, Xenakis and others. And yesterday it was Olga Neuwirth! What a feeling it was with a fantastic audience! I feel so lucky and humble today 😊🥁
Today the French premier of Olga Neuwirth’s double concerto According to What is taking place Cité de la Musique in Paris With the Orchestre de chambre de Paris, Brad Lubman, and my long time musical partner Tanja Tetzlaff it all comes together so beautifully:)!
I feel so honored and happy to have seen this project come alive through difficult times. And huge thanks to Trondheim Symfoniorkester, Svenska Kammarorkestern and ORF Radio-Symphonieorchester Wien - RSO Wien for making this concerto happen.
I’m happy 😃🥁
