I have been working in music and cultural management for over 25 years, for a long time alongside my work as a cellist. Today, I am the artistic director of classicAscona and Klosters Music, as well as concert manager for the Basel Chamber Orchestra. I am also involved in other festivals, foundations and institutions in the field of classical music – in artistic management, conceptual work or as a founder.

​

I am interested in how musical projects are created, how they grow and how they can reach an audience that is moved by them. Many of my tasks lie at the interface between artistic ideas, organisational implementation and economic responsibility. My central aim is to create music that lasts – on a human, cultural and artistic level.

Culture is changing. Audiences are changing. That is why we need new forms and sustainable models that preserve the value of classical music. I work on this with great motivation and joy – together with dedicated teams and wonderful artists.

​

Thank you for your interest.​
