Connecting with another, vulnerable audience would be a dream for me. I find it particularly important to also bring classical music outside the usual concert circuits and to have attention for people who need extra care and closeness.
The chosen repertoire focuses on the figure of the child — not only as a life phase, but as an inner core that remains present in each of us, and sometimes even comes to the fore more strongly at a later age. The memory of childhood, fantasy and ethereal spheres can be a gentle and natural way to let people connect with their own memories.
