About Michaela

I am a wanderer and a wonderer, like you are. I love our journey and to walk in the company of friends – to learn, experience, share, laugh, cry and above all I simply love this marvelous, magical, mysterious life. I have no plan (cannot believe I am saying this) and my only intention is to be truthful to myself and others.

He is by absolute favourite conductor. His humor is adorable. And he’s absolutely right:
“beauty is on the edge of catastrophy”. Beauty and catastrophy are very very close.
He “looses his trousers” while using all kinds of animals to illustrate his ideas of music to the orchestra. Absolutely adorable !
