I am a research fellow at the Unit of Judaic Studies at Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich (LMU). I am director of the Old Synagogue – House of Jewish Culture in Essen and regularly teach Jewish Music (and Old Yiddish) for the Oxford Center for Hebrew and Jewish Studies, for the Aleph Cantorial Program, and the Other Music Academy – Yiddish Summer Weimar.
I am a Jewish and Yiddish Studies scholar (having minored in Semitic Languages), as well as a musician. My special interests are the history of Yiddish music and literature, questions relating to gender and performance practice, as well as the interconnectivity between Jewish and non-Jewish music, musicians, and music-making.
