biography

Miriam Green, who goes public in the field of classical music under her real name, was taught the piano by her parents and the oboe by Volker Bilz and then moved to the Schloss Belvedere music school in Weimar at the age of 16 , where she received oboe lessons from Brigitte Horlitz until she graduated from high school. She then studied oboe at the Munich University of Music and Performing Arts, first with Ingo Goritzki and then with François Leleux until her master's degree in 2016 . She is a member of the Dandelion Quintet ( woodwind quintet ) founded in 2018 , which won 1st prize at the Bucharest International Music Competition in July 2019 .

In addition to studying her instrument, she wrote songs whose German or English texts address personal, socially critical and spiritual topics and whose music ranges between the genres of art song , songwriter pop and vocal jazz. She performs these in chamber music arrangements with piano and other instruments. The style-defining feature is the calm and melodic oboe solos played by herself in the introductory and closing sections. Since 2019 she has also been using the cor anglais as an additional timbre.

Since September 2018 she has been supported by Konstantin Wecker , who presented her as part of his concert in December 2018 in the great hall of the Munich Philharmonic . Wecker released their self-produced debut album Wanderlust , initially financed by crowdfunding and self-produced , in April 2019 via his music label Sturm & Klang . This was presented on April 20, 2019 at a concert on the studio stage of the Alte Feuerwache Berlin .
