Composer and singer.
Pluri-instrumentalist: Voice, Baritone saxophone, Clarinets, Accordion, Steel drum and several other folkloric instruments.
Eclectic as musician, Claudia plays various instruments, and for years has been composing and arranging all the music for her performances as well as for others: ensembles, orchestras and choruses. Born and grown up in Luxemburg she starts very young the study of saxophone.
During recent years she has also been approaching other instruments and the use of voice with tempos and procedures that are different from the usual techniques, gaining in refinement and strength. This is one of the sources for the creation of her own music, which wants to give back and represent all the sensitivity of the traditional music by which she is inspired.
She performed all over Europe, produced 5 CDs with different groups and composed music for two films.

CONTRA-BASS, VOICE
Refined ensemble in which the sound of "classical" instruments (like violin and cello) is mixed with the more traditional ones (as accordeon and saxophone), creating athmospheres in which the voice moves free through aincient songs or creative melodies in an instrumental expressive way. Classical and anarchical virtuous musicians play together so that the different experiences create this particular ensemble, with an eclectic european breath.
In these original compositions, arrangements and classical counterpoints melt with melodies in the style of traditonal european music, within some ancient texts in the original languages, so that this music has no time nor space.
