To discover new musical landscapes and to perform these works, ….this is addictive and narcotic and it is a pure joy of life. Based on such feelings in last months orchestral works were created such as the symphonic paintings INNERWORLDS, such as SILKROAD – THE TRAVELS OF MARCO POLO for Sheng & Orchestra, the double concerto LEPORELLO & GIOVANNI, some chamber music BEETHOVENS „SCHÖPFUNG“ for Soli, Choir & Ensemble, but also smaller compositions like PRAYERS for Oud & Orgel. – And it is not less exciting to experience, when the writing form on paper is transformed into a living sound by talented musicians.
Such First Premieres have been in the last months: 23rd of September Pirmasens a new trumpet concerto L’ANGELICA FARFALLA. DIAMONDFS LOST IN THE PAST with Otto Sauter and the Chamber Philharmony St. Petersburg, or the spectacular RING DER NIBELUNGEN (Wagners 16 hours-opera reduced to 2 hours….) with the puppets of Augsburger Puppenkiste (see the photo above)....….

KOMPONIEREN ZU ÖKOLOGISCH-POLITISCHEN THEMEN
