»Art and culture shape my life. I consider it a great privilege that this passion also drives me professionally. So I am just as strongly connected to the orchestra and its work as I am to the city of Munich and its surprising, colorful art and culture.
The Orchestra Academy is very important to me, because in addition to all cultural policies, a renovated Gasteig and financial resources, artistic quality and thus also the promotion of young talent makes the decisive difference.«
