Tours with various baroque ensembles have taken her to Japan, Kuba, Argentinia and a number of European Countries. Her interest in improvised music led to a two-year improvisation course for stringed instruments at the A.Bruckner University in Linz.

Herwig Neugebauer
studied in Graz before moving to Vienna where he studied with Andrew Ackerman and graduated with distinction. Due to his intensive engagement in 17th century music he started also playing the G-Violone which is the “little brother” of the Violone. The focus of his work is baroque continuo playing and chamber music of 18th and 19th century. He also likes to play contemporary and improvised music.

He performs with various ensembles such as Wiener Akademie, Barucco, Capella Leopoldina, New Classic Ensemble Vienna, Scaramouche Ensemble and participates also in projects which combine Jazz and free improvised music.
