BIOGRAPHY

She has given many piano recitals in Mulhouse, Colmar, for radio broadcasts in Strasbourg and Basel, and also in the United States (New York, Washington, Chicago) during a study trip. She has played concertos under the baton of Jacques Pernoo, of Henri Tomasi in Mulhouse and Vichy, and of Robert Bergmann, then director of the Mulhouse Conservatory.
 A member of SACEM, she has composed numerous works for teaching active methods with the Orff Instrumentarium, published by Schott and Leduc, as well as about fifteen pieces for piano, including her «Triptych for two pianos» premiered in Mulhouse by Jean and Simone Boucly.
Several pieces for oboe and piano are published by L’Ill aux Roseaux.


«Dialogue in resonance» begins by stating a very internalised, minor-key theme, played by the trombone, then repeated by the piano. A little, discreetly joyful melody shared between the two instruments then responds to it, followed by an improvisation on fragments of both themes. The piece ends with a reprise of the introductory theme, ending with a soaring, jubilant section in which the two melodies merge into one.
