When Parov Stelar 's management asked me if I would like to write a medley of his music for wind orchestra, I didn't have to think about it for long.
The time has come: My new arrangement “A Tribute to Parov Stelar” is available from today at OrchestralArt Music Publications .
Many thanks to the Lower Austrian Military Band for the professional recording.

The “Missa Caelestis” is a solemn mass in F for eight-part choir and wind orchestra – a sonorous journey through spirituality, sound and cosmic sublimity.
Majestic choral arrangements and powerful orchestral passages make the presence of God audible and tangible. This new work, commissioned by the Hard-Chor Linz, unites music and transcendence in an impressive way.

An evening full of depth, dignity and musical devotion – we look forward to seeing you!
The musical “Class Trip Through Time” tells the adventurous story of a school class who, together with their teacher, Mrs. Kreidewitz, and the eccentric time traveler Dr. Future, journeys through different eras in order to save humanity from a dark future.
Their mission is to recover the lost wisdom of humankind, hidden within a magical book that can only be completed by uncovering important lessons from history.
