When you meet a friend you haven’t seen in years

When you meet a friend you haven’t seen in years and he has the coolest self-built instrument, even if you don’t know the songs you just want to join for a bit and have fun!😎
•
Lukas was telling me about this instrument for a loong time and I could finally see it live, these pipe drums are just so cool!!🤩

I ended up at the hospital because I was overworke

I ended up at the hospital because I was overworked, overstressed and my back is not completely alright.
•
I took 2 months off from work, the internet and everything else to rest and recover. I didn't play the bassoon, just a few times when I felt like improvising and to check if I could remake a connection with my instrument again.
After a few weeks, I realised that I missed it. Not classical music yet, but the feeling of playing bassoon, creating something and feeling emotions through it again.
•
Here I was improvising by the sea, feeling the wind, smelling the salty water, listening to the waves... it was such a free feeling, that's also what reminds me of this photo when I look at it.
Every time to remember how free you can be when you don't judge yourself.💛

Dear music friends, thank you very much for your k

Dear music friends, thank you very much for your kind or even worried messages in the past weeks asking about me, my health and my playing at Konzerthausorchester or why I left…
I would like to share something with you, my one year probation at KHO is finished - I didn’t get enough votes from some woodwind colleagues therefore I am not a member of the orchestra anymore.
•
After my one year probation at KHO I felt empty and broken - it was a very difficult year for me - my body and soul were totally broken and, I felt like a failure
I tried to keep up positive energy until the end but during the year, it was hard for me to go on with the pressure in my head and from outside
I lost completely joy of music and realised it is impossible for me to play music freely when I am being constantly judged
I had some nice colleagues, some were not so easy, I tried to keep up
During the time I went completely to the bottom of myself, my heart, luckily, I had support from my amazing coach @anna.serme and was working on myself a lot and built up myself again over the year
•
It felt like one extra life this year, I felt so much, experienced so much and learned so much - there were good and bad moments - it was a new adding experience to my life - necessary? Probably, to me, even if our experience hurts, we always learn something new about life, develope ourselves and learn from our own mistakes.
Advice for next time would be, have more confidence and trust in yourself and don’t take things personally, it is never about you.💛
•
Maybe I am too emotional
Maybe I am too much
But this is how I felt at the time
It was my personal experience and anyone else can feel it totally different
But definitely it is a journey💛

Where to start…what an amazing and intensive wee

Where to start…what an amazing and intensive week full of emotions at the @eufoniafestival, very special festival with a message #musicforall which speaks for itself - Music is and should be for all. We played at different venues such hospitals, prison - that was an intense experience, beautiful vineyard @cramavillaveche and more. Such comitted and talented students who came to play and exchange, bravo for all your amazing performances which we got a lot of goose bumps with!! And playing with amazing musicians #suyeonkang @vlad_popescu13 @mathisrochat_viola @antonspronk @barraganpabloclarinet @simona_sindrestean @andrecebrian.flute @13603chuang @jeanselim

at these moments you realise why you do music and what for💛
•
Before going to the festival I was worried, I didn’t play for 2 months and was not sure if I am prepared and how I will feel with playing and teaching again.. it turned in the best experience, place full of beautiful people, sharing, caring, opened-minded & hearted, encouraging..we exchange so many topics and it was so motivating in all sense. Thank you so much all of you, the best team and the heart of the festival @vlad_popescu13
Wishing you so many more amazing editions for this special festival!!!!💛💛💛

I was thinking about my relation to social media for a long time, what means social media to me? Why do I want to use it? How to do it that I can feel fullfilled with it?
•
I find it as a great space to share music I do and connect with more people but the question for me is how I want to do it. It feels always incomplete and I want to share more of the moment but there is always something holding me back, fear of online presence, being shy, critical voice, not being perfect etc
•
I just read an article from Steven Isserlis about this topic (link in my story) and I could relate so much to it and it was like the last point to the puzzle - I decided just to experiment and to try out different things.😊
•
part of Steven’s Isserlis article:
“So yes, an online presence - as well as other sorts of publicity - can be extremely helpful for a young musician these days; but the question remains: what sort of online presence? The main point, I think, is to be oneself – not to follow rules and fashions. I am so fed up of reading/hearing how ‘excited’ this or that musician is to be playing a concert with this or that orchestra. It may be true (sometimes) but it’s become such a cliché; think of an original way to express your feelings! And perhaps ask yourself exactly why you’re sharing it. Is it a genuine desire to let people know what you’re doing – or is it more just showing off? Furthermore, spare a thought for those who haven’t got many engagements; how will they feel, reading about your success, when they’re desperate for concerts? (Of course, they don’t HAVE to read your posts – but all too many of them will…) For myself, I’d much rather read an honest account of someone being nervous before a concert, or an amusing remark someone has made, even if it’s not flattering, than an account of your latest triumph, or triumph-to-be. I want to sense real people, not robotic PR machines!”

I enjoy teaching very much, my goal is to support

I enjoy teaching very much, my goal is to support the students with inspiration and their music making in the little moment we share, and it's always a great reflection and inspiration for me too.😊
Thank you so much to @berlinoperaacademy for inviting me! I can't wait for the masterclass at @eufoniafestival next week!

#thoughts

when I was younger I hated to do anything with the garden, I didn’t understand the sense why to like it. Since few years, I was changing my mind completely. As my first time, I had an amazing experience at the beautiful ecological flower farm @lapetiteprairiefr (at the last 2 photos), I appreciate so much to have this time to connect with the nature and to feel the touch of the ground - so calming and refreshing, also, I love to see an immidiate results of having done something🙊
•
It makes more and more sense to my lifestyle and I am thinking a lot how can you combine work with music and having a farm - art space - it would be a dream.☀️
