Christina Fuchs - Composition | Saxophones and Clarinets

Dear visitor of my website!

COVID-19 has a desastrous impact on the cultural life in Germany and worldwide.

Almost all concerts have been cancelled or delayed to fall 2020 - and so have mine.

Stay tuned here, I will update concerts as soon as information comes in.

Among all these cancellations were the Finals of the "Neuer Deutscher Jazzpreis" in Mannheim/Germany, too.

I was one of the 3 finalists in the "composition" field. Whatever...

In these weird times, you can do one thing: listen to CD's !! help musicians and buy their products.

Bust most important: stay healthy!

Yours, Christina Fuchs
