As an early music specialist, the Austrian has made a name for herself with her unprecedented playing on the historical harp. However, her beginnings lie in the Tyrolean folk harp and in her contemporary Austrian folk ensemble “Die Knoedel” the harpist makes her roots visible as well.
Recreation is special in many ways: consisting of musicians whose nationalities range from Japan to Venezuela, most of the members received part of their training in Graz. After its formation in 2002, the collective played unique halls such as the Alte Oper Frankfurt and worked with outstanding conductors.
