is a concert organist from Munich who brings her audience closer to the whole range of organ literature; her mission is to interpret organ music from the late Renaissance to the present day in a refreshing new way ‒ precisely, and with a distinct sense for the powerful magic of the “queen of instruments”. She takes pride in creating a profound understanding for each musical era by immersing herself in every piece and loves sharing her discoveries with her audience. During her performances she provides entertaining introductions, thus making modern and contemporary repertoire accessible to everyone.
