life and career

Growing up in a cosmopolitan family, Ferber studied at the Mannheim University of Music with a focus on violin and singing. During her classical training she made incidental music at the Nationaltheater Mannheim and composed pieces for fairy tales and films.

Her first band project was the Heidelberg jazz rock band Zyma founded by Hans Reffert . Rehearsals took place in the basement of the Heidelberg Free Clinic , performed in the jazz clubs and youth centers of Heidelberg and Mannheim, in the Alte Hauptfeuerwache and at festivals such as the Guru-Guru -Festival in Finkenbach. Typical for the band were often psychedelic pieces with long improvisation parts.

In the 1980s she made a career with the folk bands Cochise and Elster Silberflug , played in Reffert's groups "Flute and voice" and "Zauberfinger". She wrote and set over 100 children's songs for well-known publishers.

Ferber lives in Owingen in the Lake Constance district and works there as a sound artist, composer and author of children's books, most of which have music on the subject. Quote from a critic: She yodels, whispers, whispers or ends up in folky grooves. Besides her voice and violin, she also has all kinds of ?? sound objects ?? at commandments. She ?? harps ?? on the egg cutter, handling trays and metal tulips.
