I support cultural and educational institutions, ensembles, and community organizations in developing meaningful, community-oriented practices that are artistically strong, socially relevant, and institutionally sustainable.
My work is grounded in extensive experience in community music research and practice, nationally and internationally. I work with organizations that want to better understand their role in society and their community, and that are seeking to become more culturally democratic, inclusive, and responsive.
I offer strategic support tailored to your specific context, including:
Clarifying mission and values in relation to community engagement and social responsibility
Developing strategies for embedding community music and participation as an integral part of your organizational profile
Advising on institutional change processes, including programming, pedagogy, partnerships, and organizational culture
Facilitating reflection and dialogue with leadership, artistic teams, educators, and community partners
My approach combines critical reflection with practical, actionable steps. I work collaboratively to identify approaches that are relevant, ethical, and sustainable for your organization and the communities you serve.
I have worked with a wide range of primary and secondary schools as well as cultural and educational institutions including:
- Konzerthaus Dortmund,
- Elbphilharmonie Hamburg,
- Münchner Stadtbibliotheken,
- Münchner Philharmoniker,
- Ensemble Resonanz,
- National Football Museum.
Whether you are at an early stage of exploring community-oriented work or seeking to deepen and critically review existing practices, I offer a reflective, research-informed, and practice-based partnership to support your next steps.
