It all began in 2016 with a concert in Tbilisi. Levan Tskhadadza called me up asking, if I'd be interested in doing a concert together with him and the Gerogian Sinfonetta at the Fabrika Tbilisi, a new center of arts and culture in the georgian capital. Of course I said YES. So we started to create the repertoire and came up with something typical german: Lieder. My first choise was Schubert to be honest. During my studies I had pretty much neglected the lied, but I had always been fascinated by the songs of Schubert like by no other composer. And there is no other Lied Composer evoking such varicolored images inside my mind as if I am listening to or interpreting Schubert
