I’m very happy and excited to be conducting the ‘Junge Sinfonie’ for this season. We will be performing Schumann’s joyful first symphony and Strauss’s moving Oboe concerto together with the amazing oboist Cornelia Bots.
After 9 wonderful years in Wollerau the 2 hour commute twice a week finally became a deciding factor for me to end the contract as of the end of 2025. I would like to thank every one of these talented musicians for all the magical musical moments we have had and for the friendships that we have built. All the best to you all for the future and I look forward to our last two ‘magical moments’ together with this beautiful programme. Symphonic Wind Repertoire at its’ best!
