I am very grateful for all the people who came to join us for our charity concert last Friday in Hamburg!
I performed with composer Carlos Andres Rico from Colombia and with Syrian composer and violinist Jehad Jazbeh and it was an intense evening with colourful music. We collected donations for the Syrian Expat Philharmonic Orchestra and for an initiative from Hamburg that donates bikes to refugees. Thank you everybody!

My project “caja de viento” got selected as one of the official projects of the Mexico – Germany year 2016. There will be workshops and concerts in different parts of the country followed by a call for scores for composers. The first trip will already happen in June 2016 and will take me to Mexico City, Puebla and Guadalajara.
More places to follow in November. Thank you to the matching funds of the Dual Year for support!

This project will also mark the 10th anniversary of my regular work in Mexico which has been very inspiring and prosperous and also a great personal experience over the years.

You can find up to date information about the concerts, workshops and other activities on the facebook page of the project caja de viento. Please visit and follow.

I very excited about the premier of Georgina Derbez´ new chamber opera “La Creciente” which will be premiered at the Festival Internacional Cervantino on October 9. The opera is based on the movie “El premio” by Argentinian movie director Paula Markovitch who also wrote the libretto. It is a very touching story that is set at the time of the Argentinian military junta. The instrumentation will be colourful and transparent: clarinet, vibraphone/percussion, accordion and piano.
