After her degree 2001 she joined the master-class of Homero Francesch at the Hochschule der Künste Zürich got the Konzertdiplom in 2004 and the soloist diploma in 2006.

She was teaching in Bülach/CH when she got a paraplegia in 2012. By Christian Wenk she got a special pedal which is controlled by the mouth, built by the Orthotec AG in Nottwil/CH so she could make a comeback to giving concerts.
Christian Wenk, Eich LU (cantone of Lucerne in Switzerland)
Christian Wenk grew up in Greifensee/CH and studie the piano a lot after his Matura (High School Degree). He was Swiss champion with Duathlon and even World Champion shortly before he had a severe accident with a high paraplegia. Nevertheless he faced his 2second life” actively, got his medical degree in 2002 working as MD ever since, having his own office since 2014 in Schenkon/CH.
He still makes a lot of sports with handbike, was trainer of the Swiss national team.
And he plays piano, performing Beetoven´s 3rd piano concerto in 2003, Grieg piano concerto in 2006 and Geshwin´s Rhapsody in Blue in 2010 as examples for more.
In 2013 he founded the Christian Wenk foundation and sponsors projects as schoole in Afghanistan and Myanmar.
After difficult years 2017 thru 2020 with 41 operations and amputation of his legs he enjoys his 3rd life as a great encore. His message despite of paraplegia an without legs: ” I am locking of nothing!” He wants to encourage people with handicaps and inspire them to embrace fate and take use of what is available.
How these concerts were planned:
Elina Kaikova asked Christian about his mouth pedal mechanism, she could try it at his piano and he was getting a system for her. Thankfully she gave him a CD with the Bruch doublee concerto for 2 pianos which created the idea in Christian to realise it together with the orchestra nota bene with whom Christian had collaborated before! After a process of several years everythig worked out well.
Thus he wanted to spread his message of encouragement.
The scope of the ticket sales is beneficial. The date 24.02.24 is for the paraplegia foundation, the other two dates 24.Feb and 3rd March 2024 are for the Christian Wenk foundation sponsoring a hospital project in Uganda.

lyrics by Albrecht Haushofer composed by Hans-Ulrich Brandt
LIVESTREAM Saturday of EASTER, 03rd of April 2021 from 19 to 21 hrs MEZ (ECT)
BOOKING no longer possible, event is in the past
The Moabit Sonnets have been written by the political prisoner Albrecht Haushofer who was imprisoned in December 1944 and murdered by the SS on 23rd April 1944. His brother found 80 poems in his jacket and conserved them for the publication in 1946.
The composer and MD Hans-Ulrich Brandt visited the Berlin Wall Museum and was inspired to compose a song cycle of many of the sonnets impressively.
His composition touches several styles as Lied, song, Bossa Nova, spoken texts, recitatives, and instrumental passages. After the premiere in Berlin in 2010 there were many successful performances in the Musich Gasteig Center, Sulzbach Salzbrunnenhaus and other places. The press is enthusiastic about this moving combination of language and music.
The solo bass singer Patrick Simper has performed this cycle and with his black bass voice they are even more impressive. The composer is at the piano and Katya Schröder (violin), Gina Ries (baritone saxophone) and Oliver Brandt (percussion) complete the chamber music ensemble.
The sonnets are being performed in the Centre of Chinese Medicine @ HSCM – Heidelberg School of Chinese Medicine under the patronage of Prof. (iba) Dr.med. Henry Johannes Greten ( www.Heidelberg.clinic ).
The proceeds are donated to the foundation of www.Beat-Richner.ch which supports the children hospitals in Cambodia which Richner has built from scratch over 25 years. They are supported by 80 5 with private donations. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beat_Richner
