Funeral services
Funeral service
Your individual wishes are very important to me!
With great sensitivity and a wealth of experience, I will accompany you during the funeral service with appropriate music.
I’d be happy to help you choose pieces in advance and organise the collaboration with the organist myself.
As a professional violinist with a soloist’s diploma, I meet the highest standards of quality and provide you with the space and opportunity to say a dignified farewell to your loved one or acquaintance whilst you listen to my comforting music.
Experience has shown that a funeral service typically includes four solo pieces. It would be an honour for me to provide the musical accompaniment for your loved one’s funeral service.
For last-minute enquiries, please do not hesitate to contact me by telephone: +41 76 520 48 89
“No image, no word can express the very essence and innermost feelings of the heart as music does. Its depth of feeling is incomparable; it is irreplaceable!” Th. Vischer
