Born and raised in the idyllic Woodquarter, he was already dominated by a great interest in art of all kinds at a young age.
After a short excursion to study Human Medicine, he then decided to pursue an academic career in music. On jazz and popular music followed contemporary classical music, and again the early music. During his studies, he gained a lot of experience as a lutenist, guitarist, arranger, composer and teacher. He performs with various ensembles and orchestras in the fields of old, new, improvised and jazz music. Collaboration with contemporary composers is just as much a part of his artistic work as researching and transmitting historical manuscripts and working on interdisciplinary projects (literature / film / performance / theater / music).
In December 2015 he came across a mandolin in Dublin and took her home with him. She taught him the joy and beauty of Bluegrass – the sound, the melodies, the clarity. And even today she whispers with her soft and sweet voice: “You have to play even faster.“
