Career <\/h3><\/div>\n\n\n\n

I grew up near Bremen. During my childhood and youth, I learned to play the organ and piano and painted with oil paints. I decided to study music. In Hamburg and Paris, I studied organ, harpsichord, piano, and singing, and I have degrees in church music and school music.At the end of my studies, I became intensely involved with early film history and film composers and began accompanying silent films during the CineGraph<\/a> film history congress. Since then, I have regularly accompanied silent films at the CineFest in Hamburg<\/a>. My articles and essays have appeared in the CineGraph encyclopedia<\/a>, in the CineGraph books<\/a> published by text+kritik, in FilmExil, and in other publications. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Outside of my film activities, I have given organ concerts and conducted choirs and a salon orchestra. On the piano, I work with singers and cabaret artists such as Gerlinde Dillge<\/a> and Katalyn Huehnerfeld<\/a>. During my time as a music teacher at a high school in Achim and Hamburg, I staged and performed musicals with children and young people. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, improvising to moving images is my artistic focus in music. I have taken up painting again. I paint with acrylic paints, both figuratively and abstractly. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
