BIOGRAPHY

Began to play the French horn at the age of 10 years at the local music school. After the school he joined Radovan Vlatkovićs French horn at the Zurich University of Arts. He played for two years in the Operahouse of Zurich and for several years in the Gustav Mahler Youth Orchestra.

Half a year before he finished his studies, he became a solo French horn at the Tiroler Sinfonieorchester Innsbruck, and since March 2011 he holds the same position at the Royal Danish Orchestra in Copenhagen.

With the world premiere of the commissioned horn concerto by Swiss composer Hans Stähli in autumn 2017 in Coburg he is also dedicated to the expansion of the contemporary repertoire for the French horn.
