music comes and goes in waves
It’s been quite a while since I posted my last little article here - and I think today is a good day to change that. ;-)
Right now I’m sitting here on my balcony with a cup of decaffeinated latte in my hand enjoying one of the first days that actually feel like summer to me this year. Also it's one of those Sunday afternoons between the hustle and bustle of last week and the week ahead, when all the tasks have already been completed and there's time to relax. To me it’s a great time to sit down and write some words.
If you take a closer look at the shows that I played (in the band or alone) you will notice that I have taken a little break since the beginning of the year. First of all, I didn’t feel like booking more concerts and wanted to do some creative work instead. Then there have been some changes in our band and I think we’re still figuring out how to continue. I also took on a sporting challenge (a triathlon that I couldn’t take part in in the end because I got sick.. but training was still fun! I might do one later this year instead I think). And - the biggest reason of all - I have been struggling with some private topics in my life during the past months that took a lot of my attention and energy.
The good news is that things have cleared up a bit and although I have still played the piano in my room often I’m starting to miss making music with others and performing. As you probably know, music is a big part of my identity and when it is not in my life as much I feel like I’m missing a part of myself.
So I’m glad to announce that I will be playing another solo piano concert in June for the Fête de la Musique in Berlin at Kapernaum Kirche in Wedding. I’m excited for their grand piano and looking forward to play so much. Please feel invited to come, listen and talk to me after the concert, I will annouce more details (for example the time ;-) ) here and on my Instagram channel when I know more. I’ll also play at least two new songs ;-)
Until then I hope for a lot more of those nice summer moments like this one for you all <3
