3rd prize in the international composition competition for women composers “Emotion for flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon and horn”.

Military Postcards convinces with a successful mixture of typical marching elements, elements of film music and new music.

“This work is divided into three movements:, Recruitment‘,, Separation ‘,, Deployment‘ and impresses above all through its skillful use of different rhythmic elements and beautiful melodies that wander elegantly through the individual instruments. This gives the piece a very special character. The use of humourous quotes makes for enjoyable playing and listening. A successful melding of elements typical of marching music, film music and contemporary music result in a very beautiful work that will certainly find a permanent place in the standard repertoire of many wind quintets.” (The jury)
