Three Headlines describe my work as Singer, Composer/Arranger, Voice Teacher and Choir Director.
Perform.
As a Singer I enjoy being on stage with different Ensembles. Either Big Band, Jazz Band, A Cappella Ensemble,… in the past I’ve performed on several national and international stages.
Create.
As a Composer I create new music that probably fits best in the genres Jazz and Pop. As an Arranger I like to give existing music a personal touch. As Artistic Director of the International A Cappella Competition vokal.total my Team and I create an annual highlight and meeting place for our scene.
Educate.
As Voice Teacher and Choir Director in the fields of Jazz and Pop I teach at the MDW (Wien) and the JJF-Conservatory (Graz). I hold workshops to a divers portfolio of topics (Voice, Choir Directing, singing with Microphone) in different parts of Europe and world wide.
