Willkommen [vɪl’kɔmən] - Welcome!
I am a professional soprano turned German diction coach & loving it! Combining my native language, the art of singing, a geeky fascination with IPA and a passion for German poetry.
“Her expertise with the German language and with vocal matters is extremely impressive, but it is her way of using this expertise to bring one closer to the essence of the music that makes her work so interesting and inspiring.”
— Jonathan Biss, Co-Artistic Director, Marlboro Music Festival
