Michael Wimmer is in close contact with a young generation of artists. In dealing with their work he is experiencing the world in ever new ways and draws from it many inspiration.

> Barbara Maria Neu
A new artist who introduces herself here is Barbara Maria Neu. In addition to her work as a classical clarinettist in the chamber music field, she seeks in her own artistic work the integration of music and instrumental playing in a performative and scenic presentation as well as a connection of music to visual art.
>Naemi Latzer
The fifth artist to be introduced on this website is Naemi Latzer. Her artistic path led her from dance to acting. Since completing her acting studies at the MUK (with distinction), she has been working as a freelance artist. Her preferred forms of artistic expression include spoken theater, dance, performance, readings, radio and film.

Verena Zangerle was born in Rum/Tyrol, lives and works in Vienna/Austria. She has always been fascinated by the power that abstraction has not to imitate reality, but to generate something new. Medially she moves in the fields of drawing, painting and printmaking.

As the third artist I am now allowed to present the accordionist Paul Schuberth. He works as a freelance artist in the field of “classical, new music” as well as in the field of “jazz, improvised music, world music”.
