Premiere MEDITATIO I-V 2023

Wulfin Lieske MEDITATIO I-V Music draws its creativity from the depth of the human soul: She does not demand, she rather is a donation, a gift, namely - beauty, unity and peace. The five meditations are encouraging ways  to our innermost emotional awareness: Bells, Cristal, Melos, Dragon-Fly - Farewell.

Works for guitar duo - compositions & arrangements
