Whether you are interested in working together on conducting skills with a focus on contemporary repertoire, on saxophone repertoire or whether you seek coaching for your chamber music group.
Through my experience and passion, feel deeply rooted in contemporary music, but not exclusively, and I am happy to share my experience and knowledge with interested musicians.
