As a music journalist, I published in print and online media including Süddeutsche Zeitung, Die Welt, and Neue Musikzeitung, providing reviews of classical music, and interviewing classical musicians such as Hélène Grimaud, Leif Ove Andsnes, Nikolai Lugansky, Arcadi Volodos, and many more.
My work also included writing reviews of newly released recordings, and providing live performance reviews from Munich's main concert halls, the Philharmonie am Gasteig, Herkulessaal, and Prinzregententheater.
Much of my writing appeared in Fono Forum Magazine, a leading German print magazine for classical music and jazz, and Klassik Heute Magazine, a classical music online portal with latest news on musicians, concert events, festivals, and CD releases.
