BEHIND THE MUSIC

I received my first harp lessons at the age of five and have since been taught by Mag. Andrea Hampl. Since 2016, I have been participating in the gifted program at the Johann Sebastian Bach Music School (JSBM). In addition, I received piano lessons from Mag. Hans-Georg Kitzbichler and recorder lessons from Univ.-Prof. Mag. Thomas List. My musical education has been significantly shaped by numerous masterclasses with renowned artists such as Marie-Pierre Langlamet, Anneleen Lenaerts, Joel von Lerber, Margit-Anna Süß, Maria Graf, Elzbieta M. Szmyt, Elisabeth Plank, Josh Layne, Monika Stadler, Mirjam Schröder, and Maud Edenwald.

I can already look back on an extensive concert career both in Austria and abroad. I have performed in major concert halls across Europe, both as a soloist and with orchestras. Highlights include a performance of Reinhold Glière’s Harp Concerto at the Auditorium Santiago de Compostela, concerts with the South Bohemian Philharmonic Orchestra as part of the Krumlov Festival, an appearance with the Hungarian Radio Symphony Orchestra at the Liszt Academy in Budapest, as well as a joint concert with Igudesman & Joo at the Tonhalle Düsseldorf. In addition, I performed at a Christmas concert with Plácido Domingo. My artistic activities also include numerous performances at renowned festivals and concert series throughout Europe and internationally.

I have also achieved multiple international successes in competitions. In 2025, I won the “Virtuosos Talent Show” in Hungary and was additionally awarded the José Carreras Special Prize. In 2024, I received both the “Goldene Note” in Austria and became the national winner of the “Prima la Musica” competition. Previously, in 2023, I was awarded first prize with the highest score at the International Harp Competition “Drustvo harfistov Slovenije,” as well as second prize at the “Arpa Graziosa” competition. Further international achievements include second prize at the “Young Artist Harp Competition” in the USA (2022) and third prize at the International Harp Competition in Szeged. Overall, since 2015, I have won eighteen first prizes at the Austrian competition “Prima la Musica” in the categories of harp and recorder.

I believe that I am able to combine strong musical expression with technical precision, thereby captivating my audience and taking them on a journey. My goal in the coming years is to continuously develop into a versatile and expressive artist of my generation.
