About

I believe that great music begins with great connection. Connection with ourselves, our instruments, our colleagues, and our audience.

I am a cellist, teacher and certified communication coach, helping musicians strengthen these connections so they can perform with greater confidence, joy, and authenticity. My approach combines practical coaching tools with years of experience as a chamber musician and educator. Whether working one-on-one, in small ensembles, or with larger groups, I guide musicians to build trust, navigate conflict, and transform pressure into presence.

As a performer, I regularly appear at major venues such as the Wiener Konzerthaus and Wiener Musikverein. I have performed at international festivals alongside acclaimed artists such as Yo-Yo Ma, Alexandra Conunova, and Markus Schirmer, and with my long-standing ensembles, the Oberton String Octet and Ensemble XXI. Jahrhundert. In addition, I have performed with orchestras including the Tonkünstler Orchestra and the Österreichisch-Ungarische Haydn Philharmonie. Since 2023 I am a lecturer for violoncello and chamber music at the Friedrich Gulda School of Music Wien.

My philosophy is simple: You play better concerts when you build better connections. Through music and communication, I help artists rediscover that connection with themselves and with the world around them.
