Just here to tell you that you’ll find me in Heidelberg next spring 🌷💚

I’m very happy to be part of the Heidelberger Frühling Festival Campus Ensemble - a group of wonderful young musicians (can I still call myself that? I just turned 31).

We met for the first time last week and spent a couple of days with inspiring workshops, talking, experimenting and figuring out what we can learn from each other - and, most importantly, what we actually want to create together.

Turns out they’re not only wonderful musicians, but very lovely humans too 🫶🏻

We’ll be back in Heidelberg next spring. Until then, we’ll keep working on what we want to bring there.

So far, all I can tell you is: we’re going to do something about swipe culture (boy, am I a victim), I’ll bring my album programme with me, we’ll have lots of conversations with you - and I’ll probably sing something by Beyoncé.

See you there? 🌷

Congrats to @_aylasahin @constance_pharoah @frederick.winterson_cellist @hans.greve and @juliusbacker for the beautiful musical kick-off ✨
