I'm a musician. Orchestral conducting is my thing. My instrument is the piano. Sometimes I also compose my own pieces.
I am most fascinated by the way of getting in magical contact with other people while playing together, especially when improvising. I like hiking in the mountains, cooking, cinema. Open minded and happy to meet new people!

Música, películas y libros

oh, favorites always change...
Naturally to my work, I like classical music by Brahms, Debussy, Schostakovich, Bernstein, Korngold, Rachmaninov, Strawinsky, etc.... Film-Music for example by Nino Rota, Ennio Morricone or John Williams, also soul, swing, Postmodern Jukebox and Tango!

Algo increíble que he hecho

Conducting the very first concert of a British Symphony Orchestra in Vietnam,
stepping in at one day's notice with the London Symphony Orchestra.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

I like to learn: dancing, pottery, there are always nice things to learn.

I can teach:
-Playing the piano.
-During my studies I also learned much about body awareness through the Feldenkrais-Method. I'm not a professional, but I could share some of the lessons.

I also like just to talk and laugh about music, life, politics... Laughing together is the best, I guess... Improving my language skills in Italian would be great (also french, but that's a long time ago..)

Qué puedo ofrecer a los anfitriones

A deep talk, jokes, music, go out and see nice places, cooking a nice meal, another good talk.. ;-)
To 98% I'm not a late-night disco-party-guy. I prefer a relaxed chat, with a drink, in a small group of relaxed people.
