Born in:

Vienna

Current center of life:

Vienna

Instrument:

Clarinet

Second, third or even fourth instrument:

Egg Shaker

My career aspiration as a child:

Clarinettist

This was the profession my parents envisioned for me:

They never cared.

Works or concert experiences that left their mark on me: which ones did not?

Michael Jackson at the Ernst-Pappel-Stadium.

Work with the greatest music-making pleasure (and why?):

Mozart’s Jupiter Symphony, as no clarinets.

I would like a work for my instrument by this composer (and why?):

Thomas Ades, one of the few composers who can write real music.

I would get up in the middle of the night for that:

My children.

Special / curious own concert experience:

Curious: All concerts without an audience in the pandemic.

My most valuable tip for the next generation of musicians:

Doing sports.

That's what I wish for the future of the classical music scene:

Audience

My next project:

More road cycling.

That's what I associate with Leipzig as a city of music:

Die Prinzen
