Working daily on a new piece for Ensemble Horizonte. Premiere will be at the Hörfest in Detmold this year in the beginning of October. A second performance is scheduled for Nov. 8th in Schwere Reiter, Munich.

Recently I finished a piece for flute, violin and cello. It's commissioned by the Munich flutist Martina Silvester who will premiere and record it with Nina Takai (Vln) and Katerina Giannitsioti (Vlc).

Another recent piece is a collaboration with Polychrome Orchestra. This by the Musikfonds funded project will result in an 60 minutes ensemble piece including (not being an arrangement of) the Kinder-totenlieder by G. Mahler. It will also be recorded as a CD. Concerts are planned for Berlin (Sept. 18th), Fürth (Nov. 18th) and Munich (Nov 19th).
