Over the course of one year, I will be travelling the world in search of new sounds working with composers and musicians of diverse backgrounds. Our journey will bring us through the USA, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, New Zealand, Australia, Japan, and Vietnam to play, create, improvise, teach, learn, and expand my network.
You can read about our encounters and adventures during our time abroad on here:

BASSticcio – a multimedia microcosm of contemporary music for bass clarinet.
In her first solo programme, Anna Koch weaves innovative commissioned compositions with her own improvisations into an unheard-of whole, seeking to cross boundaries and find common ground.
