Despite her young age Johanna already possesses a wide repertoire which contains big violin concerts like the “Symphony espagnole” by Lalo and the e-moll concert of Mendelssohn, virtuosic violin literature like the “Gypsy Airs” of Sarasate and the “Tzigane” by Ravel, but also chamber music literature by Mozart, Beethoven and Brahms. She took part in many chamber music classes with great dedication and success. Thereby she plays fiddle and viola in turns. During the "Kammermusikwoche Ermatingen" and the "music on the isles" in Scotland Johanna was concertmaster and also performed soloistic with orchestra. Johanna Tüscher is multiple awardee of the Swiss music competition – as a soloist as well as in chamber music. 2012 she won the first price and a free class choice as a special honour in the finals of the Swiss youth music contest with her ensemble, the Beryl quartet. Johanna is being supported as a scholar by the Quartetto-Stiftung Basel.

July 3 – 17 August, 2013 at the Hellenikon Idyllion

Travel to Greece and improve and deepen your knowledge of Attic Greek. Which friend of Hellas wouldn’t be tempted? In the entire world there is only one opportunity to do so.
 Students from many countries and backgrounds assemble in a large, shady garden on the rocky shores of the Gulf of Corinth and discover to their surprise that they can converse, read and discuss stimulating ancient texts all in the language of ancient Greece. 
 

The seminar, a project of the Hellenikon Idyllion, has been offered by the center's founder Andreas Drekis for twenty years as a special opportunity for students of ancient Greek. His hotel also hosts musicians and artists, whose concerts and performances enliven many an evening. A short trip to see objects of interest and a production in an ancient theatre is also possible.
 The Hellenikon Idyllion is located on the north coast of the Peloponnese near Aigion, a Greek vacation destination thanks to its particularly alluring and relaxing character. Accommodation is available in rooms with 3-4 beds for student participants. Single and double-bed rooms are also available to adults upon request.
  The price for accommodation in the 3-4 bed rooms and for the course is 300.- Euros. It is a promotion project  of Andreas Drekis, Hellenikon Idyllion
