mini documentary about the last edition
Im Oktober 2024 war das Zöllner-Roche-Duo zwei Wochen auf Tournee in der Türkei. Wir waren Ensemble in Residence a n der Bilkent University in Ankara und beim Festival Izmir Days of New Music und haben 11 neue Stücke von jungen Türkischen Komponist:innen uraufgeführt. Die Reise wurde unterstützt vom Canada Council for the Arts und vom Goethe Institute und war auf persönlicher und musikalischer Ebene sehr motivieren. Vielen Dank an alle, die dazu beigetragen haben!
On June 1 2024 I had the privilege to perform Georges Aperghis´ new “Carsten Trio” with Talea Ensemble. I m grateful for this opportunity to get to know those fantastic musicians.
My solo album “voces, señales” is nominated for the Quarterly Critic’s Choice of Deutsche Schallplattenkritik which I am really happy about. My special thanks goes to sound engineer Claudia Neumann and Deutschlandfunk who helped me to realize these recordings.
For me 2023 was a packed with good projects which felt a bit strange given the actual state of the world. But I did enjoy travels, music, experiments and companionship with wonderful colleagues and here are a few memories. Thanks to everyone involved, it s a real privilege to be able to this for a living.

In November 2022 I was invited as a soloist to produce a program with Colombian music for Deutschlandfunk´s “Forum neuer Musik” radio festival. I recorded two new pieces commissioned by Deutschlandfunk, “brother” by Natalia Valencia and “signo a cambio” by Daniel Leguizamón, along with older pieces by Carlos Andrés Rico and Jorge Gregorio Garcia Moncada. The broadcast by Hanno Ehrler is still online and can be listened to here. I m very grateful for this opportunity to share the diversity of contemporary music from Colombia with the European audience.
I have recently had the honour to be part of a very inspring multimedia project in Accra, Ghana: The appeal by Vietnamese composer LUONG Hue Trinh brought together musicians and dancers from very different backgrounds and ended in a colourful performance at Alliance Francaise in Accra. The trailer will be available shortly. I am very grateful for this opportunity to work with amazing colleagues in Africa and I do particularly thank Ministerium für Familie, Frauen, Kultur und Integration Rheinland-Pflaz for the travel support.
