Katharina Müllner studied conducting, music education and psychology / philosophy in Vienna. After graduation, she joined Landestheater Linz as an accompanist with conducting duties, and led productions such as Die Entführung aus dem Serail and Il matrimonio segreto, as well as operettas and concerts for young audiences.
Katharina Müllner and the Düsseldorfer Symphoniker amply demonstrate the excitement embodied by the music. They do so marvellously! A remarkable listening experience.
