She frequently engages with composers like Bach, Beethoven, and Brahms, but also champions lesser-known works and contemporary pieces.

Konzerthaus Freiburg occupies a historically significant building – the former Freiburg concert hall – which underwent extensive renovation and re-opened in 2019. The building itself dates back to the early 20th century, originally designed by German architect Hermann Billing. While maintaining its architectural heritage, the refurbishment modernized the acoustics and facilities to meet contemporary performance standards. It serves as a central venue for orchestral concerts, chamber music, and other musical events in the Breisgau region. The Konzerthaus is noted for its intimate atmosphere and excellent acoustics within a relatively small hall capacity (approximately 700 seats). It hosts both internationally acclaimed artists and emerging talents, contributing significantly to the cultural life of Freiburg. The venue’s programming reflects a broad range of musical periods and styles.
