…were starring in the New Years Concert on Jan 01st 2020. And realized they didn’t have a proper bio for the program notes. Since most of them are professional orchestra musicians, they are very verpeilt, sort of tsk tsk tsk in a loving, adoring but also Hände-über-dem-Kopf-zusammengeschlagene way.

Musikdramaturgie
I have played in various orchestras, mostly in Freiburg, and helped out in even more. For two semesters, I played in a chamber orchestra, das Junge Kammerorchester Freiburg and because usually I am all in, I wrote the program notes for those two concerts, in 2012 and 2013. Enjoy!

Bad Blood / Böses Blut
Hand’s up one of the best Scandinavian crime novels I read in a long time. And I’m not saying this because of the cover. Okay, maybe, because I love puns. I am an avid reader of Henning Mankell and his Wallander novels, of Jo Nesbø‘s Harry Hole and of course I’ve read Miss Smilla’s Feeling…
Mäh ihr Schafe!
DISCLAIMER: I simply wanted to post this late night sketch with a few words and then a few became many. Whoops. I remember when I watched Babe, one of my all time favourites, for the very first time, on a VHS cassette. Babe, the brave and heroic shepherd pig with a heart of gold –…
