Debut as conductor with the Gesangverein der Steirer in Wien, leading a choral programme with an amateur choir and professional singers supporting the individual sections.

Budapest Scoring Orchestra: Mozart “Così fan tutte” Overture recording session

Role: Conductor
Year: 2019
Location: Magyar Rádió Building, Budapest, Hungary

Studio recording of the overture to Mozartʼs “Così fan tutteˮ with the Budapest Scoring Orchestra. I prepared the musical materials, worked with the orchestra in session as conductor, and use the video and audio as an early reference document for my orchestral work. The session functions as a professional calling card in applications and artistic introductions.

Brauteinzug: Musical Direction

Role: Composer, musical director

Year: 2025

Location: Dominikanerkirche, Retz, Austria

For the premiere of Brauteinzug I also served as musical director of the ceremony. I balanced liturgical timing with acoustic and spatial constraints, coordinated the entries of organ and solo violin from the balcony, and cued the performers live using practical signals rather than formal podium conducting.
