CREATIVE ARTS
The joy of creative art, especially music making, has accompanied Miriam throughout her life. Miriam has a remarkable track record in the creative arts, especially in the area of musical performance. And although it has been an often arduous journey, music has driven creativity and emotional depth along the professional journey.
Part of her skill is based on broad experience with orchestral, soloist and band projects over the past > 20 years. Her practice is based on over 11 years of professional training as a violinist since the age of 6, during which she successfully participated in national music competitions Jugend Musiziert. In her early 20s she expanded her practice to include experimental, pop and rock music, and during this time improvised music increasingly emerged. This was followed by a decade of involvement in pop rock music with pop violin arrangements and gypsy rock style. She worked as a freelance violinist in various formations on stage, in the studio (for classical, pop-rock and theater genres) and wrote violin arrangements and co-compositions in pop-rock music (Hallelujah, Cardiac Move, Helena Hallberg, Phil Ryan and others). Today she is a violin substitute for the 21st Century Orchestra KKL Luzern, City Lights Concerts and the Pepe Lienhard Orchestra (Udo Juergens). Besides a pure violin activity, she also pursued projects in the field of high performance coaching (psychology/neuroscience/music), film projects (Krebsliga Schweiz; Fidelio, Mediafisch, Commercials), with directors and composers (EU, USA).
