Composer & Arranger

I have been arranging and composing since the age of fourteen and have acquired a broad profile in recent years.

I studied composition and arrangement at the HfMT Cologne with Florian Ross, Hendrika Entzian as well as Frank Reinshagen and graduated with top grades in November 2021.

I specialize in jazz/pop as well as crossover (classical and popular music) and have a lot of experience with large ensembles (e.g. symphony orchestra, choir, large jazz ensembles). I have also written and produced numerous arrangements and compositions for theater and musical productions. This also includes sound designs and singalongs.

If you have a booking request for me, please feel free to use the contact forumlar. Otherwise you can find current projects, music samples, sample copies & references here. If you want to listen to my music, you can find audio samples here. I am looking forward to your message!

Satisfaction guarantee

When you commission an arrangement or composition from me you can rely not only on experience, reliability and professionalism. With me you also get a satisfaction guarantee!

A commissioned arrangement is only successful for me when you and your ensemble are satisfied! Therefore, I take time before each order to gather information about your ensemble as well as your wishes and ideas. In addition, it may be useful to consult with you during the writing process or to send you sketches and ideas. However, if you are not completely satisfied with the result, I will make every effort - after consulting with you, attending a rehearsal, or listening to a recording - to make improvements. Only when you are satisfied, so am I!

You can read the exact warranty conditions here.

Prices

Prices for arrangements and compositions depend on many factors:

Instrumentation, especially the number of voices
length of the composition/arrangement
complexity of the musical material
Occasion/rights of use (e.g. for public concerts, film, television, radio...)
What kind of material will be delivered in the end? (sheet music as PDF, for example single parts and score, printed and bound sheet music, audio files...)

If you have a request, they are welcome to contact me without obligation! After a preliminary discussion, the framework can often be better estimated. In addition, I orient myself to the fee guidelines of industry associations (German Jazz Union, composers associations, etc.).

WDR Funkhausorchester

For the renowned WDR Funkhausorchester I may dress two Beatles songs in an orchestral outfit. The concert will also be livestreamed. Here you find infos about the concert.

E-Mex Ensemble | Meat
I was commissioned by the E-Mex Ensemble (Essen) to compose a piece on the theme of meat for oboe solo. The compositional preoccupation with this theme was completely new to me and accordingly a very interesting and enriching experience. The result is the composition 180, with which I criticize the industrial meat production. The work will be premiered on 20.10.2022 in the Kreuzeskirche in Essen. You will find more information about the premiere in due course in the schedule.

Stille Nacht International

The Arbeitskreis Musik in der Jugend (AMJ) has initiated an international project with four youth choirs from Europe (Germany, Hungary, Italy and Estonia). For this project I am allowed to write an arrangement of Silent Night, Holy Night, which includes all four choirs and their national language. The recording will be published as a video during the Christmas season and then also linked here.

Essence of Duality

Together with the Indian musician Hindol Deb I am working on a crossover project, between jazz, "classical" and Indian music. 2023 there will be a first premiere of the project in Cologne! More info to follow!

Messe für Vokalensemble und Klavier

I have been commissioned by the Chorhaus St. Michael in Dormagen to write a mass for vocal ensemble and piano. The confrontation with such a historically significant genre is very exciting. The premiere will probably take place in 2023.

Crossover-Project. Here you can watch the live-videos from my masters concert.

Sheet music material (sample)

Good sheet music is essential for the work with musicians and saves time during practice and rehearsal. Starting with error-free notes, rehearsal signs, correct transpositions, dynamic indications, a clear layout up to strokes for string instruments. With me you can rely on many years of experience and professional handling of notation software. Here you can get an impression with the help of the sample pages:
