Date of Birth: 9th June 1979

Living in : Langenlois (Lower Austria)

Education: Studying Mirobiology/Genetics in Vienna

I had piano lessons for 11 years. Among my teachers were the
pianist Rosario Marciano and the Austrian composer Gottfried
Katzenschlager. When I was about 16 years old I was asked if I'd
like to play the organ in a mass: And so I "met" a pipe organ for
the first time. I was always interested in organ music but I really
fell in love with the organ. I started to teach myself playing the
organ with the help of much literature and some organists.
Unfortunately I never had any organ lesson because studying
microbiology/genetics doesn't leave much free time. But I use all
my free time for practicing so I have reached much, as I think.

Organist at: Langenlois (Lower Austria, III/P/e)
             Stift Goettweig (Lower Austria, III/P/m)
             Mariae Geburt (Vienna, II/P/m, baroque organ)

Favorite works I'm playing:

             Mendelssohn's organ sonatas op. 65
             Bach (Vivaldi concertos,...)
             Franz Schmidt ("Halleluja")
             Reger
             Karg-Elert 

I am also composing (e.g.: Sonatine op. 10 for piano, piano
quintet op. 9; now composing: "Phantasie und Fuge" for organ).

Other interests: Biology (of course!)
