meet the newest members of our class, joining in Fall 2026

Sarina Tepel, BA Music

"Music has been an important part of my life. I studied at the Music School of Konstanz in Germany, where I received valuable musical training and inspiration. I am excited to continue my artistic development and explore new musical perspectives at ZHdK."

My goal at ZHdK is to develop into a more professional and versatile saxophonist while gaining a deeper understanding of music and musical expression. I also hope to strengthen my creativity and develop my own artistic voice. I look forward to learning from Lars and my fellow students, and to growing both as a musician and as a person."

meet the newest members of our class, joining in Fall 2026

Gisela Dekort, MA Specialized Music Performance

"My name is Gisela, and I am a classical saxophonist from Spain. I began my Bachelor's degree at the age of 16 thanks to a scholarship from the Ferrer-Salat Music Foundation, studying with Professor Albert Julià. I recently completed my Master's degree in Classical Saxophone at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam under the guidance of Arno Bornkamp. Since 2024, I have been recognized as a Yamaha Young Talent, and I have had the opportunity to perform as a soloist with ensembles including the OSCyL Orchestra, the Vienna Opera Ball Orchestra, and several youth orchestras.

I am very much looking forward to studying at ZHdK and working with its outstanding teachers, especially Lars. I am also excited to collaborate with and learn from the talented students there. I feel that ZHdK offers a particularly creative and inspiring environment, and I see it as a wonderful opportunity to continue growing as a musician and to take my career a step forward."
