Dear Friends,

Hope you all are doing well, and everybody had a great summer. The new concert season is starting, and I am very excited about the beginning of my sabbatical year from teaching.

I just spent August and September in Dakar/Senegal to learn about West African Culture, take lessons on the Kora and work with great musicians like the Kora Virtuoso Noumouncounda and his daughter Aby. There will be more stories coming from Senegal and my next musical adventures over the year. In the meantime, a lot of new things happened.

There are 3 new CDs out or coming out:

Sirius Quartet had a new release with Parma records Playing on the Edge 3.

Berta Epple’s show “Das Ganze Jahr Geöffnet” is coming on CD on March 8, 2024. Till then we will release a single each month on all the streaming platforms and you can buy the physical copy after our concerts.

Munich Composers Collective’s first CD called Digital Code is coming out at the end of October and will be celebrated with a release concert at one of Europe’s best clubs, the Unterfahrt in Munich on October 30th at 8:30pm. MCC was also awarded with the München Stipendium 2023 (Munich scholarship 2023).

After I did a photo session with the great photographer Beate Armbruster, she was asked by an international magazine if they could use her photos of me. So I ended up in Peng Magazine with these pictures.

In addition to that I was nominated twice for this year’s Opus Classic with Evelyn Huber’s CD Joy and Sirius Quartet Tosende Stille. Beethoven: Heiligenstädter Testament.

Right now there are some of my new piano pieces being released. 3 of 7 are out already on all the streaming platforms each in it’s original form as well as in a remix.
These are the compositions:

ENJOY!
Gregor
