You can support the release of my solo album “Voces, señales” to be published with GENUIN in September 2023. I have launched a crowfunding campaign to raise funds to cover the label costs.

Gracias & Thank you for your support!
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.
We are pleased to launch our first edition of the Zöllner-Roche Composers Lab with kind support of Deutscher Musikrat und NEUSTART KULTUR.
Until June 30 composition students (or composers recently graduated) can submit their applications and we will select 3 of them for commissions. Further guidelines can be found on our duo website

Review about the concert
In July 2021 I was invited by Goethe Institute Hanoi to take part in a virtual project with musicians from Vietnam, Germany and France. I composed an “eatable score” for Đàn bầu, accordion and electronics for the occasion. You can follow the project here:
In May 2021 I have published my new book “Composing for the Accordion” with ARE-Verlag in Cologne. I am very excited to be able to share my experiences from many years of close collaboration with composers in this way.
The bilingual release contains practical information about the accordion and its playing techniques, examples of notation and listening tipps.
Katrin Bethge made the very unique drawing for the cover.
Print edition (26,-Euro) and E-Book (12,-) can be ordered directly from the publisher.
We were invited to contribute a short clip to a TV broadcast about artists in our region SWR#zusammenhalten für die Kultur
